There was also the introduction of dependence on reserved words such as XML and processing instructions (the XML declaration which isn't one but looks like one and smells like one) which had been avoided in the SGML Way where possible. Some systems did make liberal use of them. Some systems such as Oster introduced dot naming to infer classes as well. Support for the SGML Declaration varied. Many XMLers don't know that is there just as many HTMLers weren't aware of the DOCTYPE. A lot of the competition in markup systems happens in the application languages (aka vocabularies), not in the meta language. That was just as true for SGML. Domain boundaries are hard to keep stable which is why some doubt a reliable semantic web is achievable but for the same reason meta-domain services become important and the reliability and quality of these, critical.
