After reading all the posts on XML, I think there's a lot of confusion out
there as to what XML really is (Michael Priestley is excluded from this
generalization). I found a book that greatly helped me: XML, A Manager's
Guide by Kevin Dick. Because it is targeted to managers (whom, we all know,
know little about technology - that's a joke guys) it is concise, easy to
read, and has no techspeak. I heartily endorse it as an initiation into the
XML world.

BTW - it WILL affect us as technical communicators. I've seen several posts
that dismiss it summarily as only being targeted to large companies. My
company is a small one just starting to single source our documentation.
Although up front costs are high, we expect to realize a fairly quick ROI in
saving translation costs.
