Yes, I know and appreciate RNG and James Clark of course.
However, for the web, like it or not, XML is a lost cause; yet the web is still the most important markup application by far.
In my project I'm trying to re-establish SGML (the good parts) for broad and practical web applications. SGML gives you HTML-style tag omission and empty elements, custom Wiki syntaxes eg. markdown plus markdown customizations, and injection-free templating, all based on an ISO standard.
I've just created a new SGML DTD with full coverage of W3C HTML5.1 [2]. As an outcome of this project, I also have been encouraged to push for a new SGML (ISO/IEC 8879) revision.
