Hi Jag

HTML is intended to be structural and semantic, with
CSS providing the presentational layer.

Subject:  RE: [thelist] The future of XML


XML is not likely to replace to HTML. They are standards for different
things.

HTML will always be presentation whilst XML is more data related.

So there is no need to worry Jay.

Regards,

Jag.
