[citation needed]
I'm unaware of basically any implementation of HTML treating it as an application of SGML; the only notable case I'm aware of is the old HTML validator.
Tim's original implementation of HTML didn't treat it as SGML.
- lambda 9y agoSorry, maybe I should have said "inspired by" or something. You're right, I'm not aware of any actual implementation, outside of validators, that treated it as such. I did actually say a little later that no web browsers actually implemented it as SGML, but the sentence you quote could cause confusion; but it's too late for me to edit now.
