Title: Helpful background, even for a year old book
Review: Although not as up to date as this year's publications, this book explains a lot of XML technology in ways that other SGML trained authors can't seem to do. It answered a lot of background questions of 'why' XML does things in a way I could understand even after perusing a lot of other books on XML. It lacks XSL and other newer aspects, but should be updated to include them. Still, good for the basics.
