The Web is a landmark in the evolution of Internet information systems because its lingua franca allows authors to say what they mean, rather than merely how to say it. W3C's new eXtensible Markup Language (XML) carries that torch forward to a new generation of information services.
Whereas HTML limits writers to a common pool of semantic idioms like "This is a top-level heading", XML allows publishers to define their own markup language using application specific meanings. In XML, an invoice isn't limited to boldfaced part numbers and quantity tables -- now, it can use and tags.
The shift to XML will unleash a diverse range of new applications. Mathematical equation structures are encoded in XML in W3C's new MathML specification. Databases can be automatically published to the Web, schemas intact. New metainformation systems can document the structure of Web content using the Web. New XML-savvy access protocols can selectively address and download portions of XML documents. New browsers and client tools can animate and script XML's object model with ease. Style sheets can automate rendering decisions for new XML tags, not just on the screen, but for printers, aural output, and beyond.
XML is a milestone on the path to building a mirror of the real world's knowledge inside the Web. This issue of the Web Journal is your first look at the technical specifications and early applications of a new data format that will rock every aspect of the Web: markup, linking, and exchange. Guest editor Daniel Connolly, W3C's architecture domain leader, is an ideal guide, having pioneered the very notion of standardizing HTML as an application of SGML (Standardized General Markup Language).
This issue includes contributions from the members of the XML Working Group: Jon Bosak, Sun Microsystems (Chair); James Clark (Technical Lead); Tim Bray, Netscape (Co-editor); C. M. Sperberg-McQueen, University of Illinois (Co-editor); Jean Paoli, Microsoft (Co-editor); Steve DeRose, INSO; Dave Hollander, HP; Eliot Kimber, Highland; Tom Magliery, NCSA; Eve Maler, ArborText; Peter Sharpe, SoftQuad; and Murray Maloney (GRIF). Highlights include our major offering, "The Evolution of Web Documents: The Ascent of XML" (Connolly, Khare, Rifkin); "XML: Can the Desperate Perl Hacker Do It" (Michael Leventhal); "Building Microsoft's XML Parsers in IE4" (Paoli, Schach, Lovett, Layman, Cseri); "JUMBO: An Object-Based XML Browser" (Peter Murray-Rust); "An Introduction to XML Processing with Lark" (Tim Bray); and a contrarian position entitled "Inline Markup Considered Harmful" (Ted Nelson).

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Emerald, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
