Tim Bray on the history of XML

February 18th, 2008 by

Tim Bray has a terrific piece on the development of XML, now in its tenth year as an official standard. He focuses on the people, not on the technicalities of the standard.

It’s worth it just to re-read Tim’s words about Yuri Rubinsky, an SGML advocate of enormous energy and passion, without a mean bone in his body.

It’s also worth it to learn the off-the-mainstage history of XML, of course.
