It would be nice to have a short SGML bibliography
(even in SGML!).
For a subject that is going to take over the world,
SGML seems to arouse remarkably little interest.

Is there a PD SGML program?
I heard of one such some months ago,
but never saw it.
(I assume it would verify SGML input,
and give some kind of formatted output.)
