        I also wholeheartedly agree. I posted the initial XML article format
example to this list a week or so ago but having spoken to Jimmy Wales and
done some reading I would suggest that we use TEI Lite:
        1) I'm a computer programmer, professionally lazy and object to
reinventing the wheel - why do all that work when someone else has already
done it for you?
        2) It's generally acknowledged that TEI is a strong standard in
academic/ digital library type publishing; lots of big libraries are using
it for real life large projects.
        3) nupedia.org are using it, proving again that it works for this
type of application and making our project(s?) content compatible.

        Go see: http://www.uic.edu/orgs/tei/
