Topic:         HTML as an SGML Application
Speaker:       Dan Connolly


The HTML 2.0 specification, RFC1866, defines an SGML application and an 
Internet media type. The specification notes that extensions are 
planned, but only the text/html; level=2 Internet media type and the 
"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN" document type are defined. This document 
suggests the use of URIs as system identifiers for document type 
definitions, allowing decentralized evolution of the language. The use 
of marked sections as a transition technique and the continued use of 
the level mechanism for standardized points in the evolution path are 
discussed. 


ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
Dan discovered the web project soon after graduating U.T. Austin while 
he was at Convex. His industry experience in online documentation tools, 
distributed computing, and information delivery kept him in touch with 
the project while he was at Dazel and HaLSoft. 

His background in formal systems led him to work on the specification of 
HTML and other parts of the web.
