That gets you into the subset dilemma: all conformant XML processors
will be able to handle SML, but not all conformant SML processors will
be able to handle XML.

Perhaps it's worth the cost, and perhaps not -- that's up to you guys
(and, eventually, the market) to decide -- but there *is* a cost.


All the best,


David
