So I'm learning that SGML is not

	Standard	(multiple tag sets exist)
	General		(doesn't do graphics, tables, or equations)
    for	Markup		(not intended for typesetting)
      a	Language	(rather a syntax for describing a language)

Could SGML possibly be misnamed?  Was it hopelessly naive of me to assume
that the word Markup in its name indicates it is used for markup?

At least I'm learning something from this discussion.
