Summary: SGML iff unobtrusive


  I like the idea (SGML generalizes easily), but I'd like to see a
means of making the use of such transparent (or relatively
transparent) to non sgml-conversant systems.
  I'd like to see a minimum of tags and a maximum of inference from
context, because the news reader I'm using will probably fall out of
use long after SGML does (or does not) become popular.
