Elements identify purpose not format
Elements make text more like data
Elements make automatic processing and automatic formatting possible
XML/SGML text is authored and stored without formatting At authoring time, the output format may
not be known
Text without formatting is easy to re-use in different documents and formats
When authoring is separated from formatting:
Authors focus on content not format
Authors don’t waste time “tweaking” formatting
Authoring productivity can double!
