Bryan updates his ten-year-old SGML: An Author's Guide (Addison-Wesley) with this complete discussion ranging from document analysis and structure to the future of SGML and HTML. This is not light reading, but it is exceptionally illuminating for people interested in the underlying intellectual structure of text rather than the physical display of that text on the screen. For academic collections.
