<title>XML as a Document Format</title>
<para>
XML is first and foremost a document format. It was always intended
for web pages, books, scholarly articles, poems, short stories,
reference manuals, tutorials, texts, legal pleadings, contracts,
instruction sheets, and other documents that human beings would
read. Its use as a syntax for computer data in applications like
syndication, order processing, object serialization, database
exchange and backup, electronic data interchange, and so forth is
mostly a happy accident.

is an SGML application designed for new documents, not old ones.
It's especially common in computer documentation. Several
O'Reilly books have been written in DocBook including

Guide</citetitle></citation>. Much of the <ulink
