What a good idea. Back in 1985/6 I proposed that the ISO Technical
Report "Techniques for Using SGML" include an example of Literate
Programming! Some of the other committee members prefered a Z
example. I gave way to their "pressure" and forgot the literate
programming example; no one provided the Z example either.

There are some things in SGML that would mean existing web files
could have been processed whereas they could not be processed with
XML.
