An XML document type is just a model of a language.  I believe that
old designs were optimized for processor writers at the expense of
authors.  I have been trying to optimize document type design for the
traditional LaTeX author.

LaTeX itself is the primary back end to paper that I have in mind and
the only one I've written.
