SML I am refering to stands for Simple Markup Language, a strict
subset of XML.  SML is XML minus DTD, attribute, CDATA, PI, comment,
mixed-content, and all entity except numeric character entity.  So
its syntax is just text and elements.  A SML document is an element.
Its information model is basically name-value pair: a node has a name
and a value.  a node value may be either a string or a collection of
nodes.  Some XML folks don't SMILe when they hear about SML, but
those of us at SML-DEV like it.  Its insanely simple.
