(This is a reposting of something I posted on comp.graphics:)

I am looking for SPECIFICATIONS for document markup languages that are in
common use which are in the public domain.  I have seen references to
SGML, for example, as well as some language which is used at the
University of Waterloo New OED Project.  

Are the specifications for either of these in the public domain?
Are there documents available via ftp describing the specifications?

AND, are there any nice public domain utilities available for interpreting
such documents (LEX input, for example)?

Please email replies if possible.  I will summarize if appropriate.
