Er... I was referring to the address bosak@netcom.com as six years
old, not the xml.org name. I snaffled that one about a year ago, and
it wasn't my idea; someone sent me mail asking why we hadn't grabbed
it yet. I was about three days too late to get xml.net as well, which
ended up with some company in Asia that I believe has no idea what XML
is.

For the record, "XML" as the name for a subset of SGML designed for
the Web was suggested by James Clark in a message to the old SGML ERB
dated August 19, 1996.
