Since so many people have called me on it, I must say that I think that
SGML is a great tool to apply to conlanging, as to many other hard data
management problems -- That's why I have access to such an FTP directory!
But the conlang list archives are not SGML software, and that's what the
directory is for.

So I'll take it all back! I agree. SGML and CONLANGing are related!

Hell, if I ever get contrl of my time, I want to make some nice XML-based
conlanging tools  and XML == SGML - (lots of ugliness).
