Oh dear, someone at the Post is talking a load of bullshit.

XML was developed by a Generic SGML Editorial Review Board formed under
the auspices of the W3 Consortium in 1996 and chaired by Jon Bosak of
Sun Microsystems, with the very active participation of a Generic SGML
Working Group also organized by the W3C. The membership of these groups
is given in an appendix.
