Years of reading mailing lists, and TimBL's message at:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2004Jan/0013.html

The list of "ways serializations vary" is especially interesting, as
none of them seem founded on the SGML core - they're all about features
added later.

I (probably foolishly) wrote www-tag a reply to Tim's message that
builds on this.
