I am a beginner with SGML, so I searched the local library. This generated 
a Research Report by Joan Smith  "Guidelines for Authors"  dated 1987 , 
ISBN 0 7123-3112-3. It is a publication of the British National Library 
and it is not clear whetherthe material described has or has not become a 
standard. 

Is this identical or at least compatible with the guidelines put out by 
publishers in the USA and recently mentioned in this group? If not, which 
is the more widely used?? 

Is there a more recent version?
