title: Proper XML application for storing old text documents (talmud, bible, etc.)
body: <p>I am planning to set up a simple, but extensive database of old religious texts. I was wondering if anyone could suggest an existing XML compliant format for storing such documents. Preferably a simple one, easily transformed to xhtml. I've heard about TEI, but afaik, TEI is based on SGML and is not XML compliant. Thanks in advance, any input is welcome.</p>
