8.2.4 Future developments

• SGML technology will work with XML (as long as it conforms to the minor technical corrigenda mentioned above)
• Because XML is much easier to parse than fully general SGML, it is much easier to produce parsers for it. It is therefore very likely that we will soon see many XML editors and XML-aware browsers in the months to come.
• We should also see XML-aware search engines, potentially finally realising the possibilities offered by hightly structured information storage and retrieval.
• The development of MathML should help see maths on the internet
