| I have also found the format difficult to learn, 
but I think Metadata is so important.  What we need is not an easier 
format, but better editors.  Emacs with SGML is not so easy.  
WordPerfect or FrameMaker+SGML are expensive widows options.  Lyx seems to 
be free and at least partially WYSIWYG.  Can we gather all these experts 
together and add extensions to something like Abiword or Gnotepad or 
something?  Take a look at Microsoft's XML 
notepad. |
