I would agree that JAVA and SGML are totally different -
SGML is a document description language - JAVA offers a
complete Virtual Machine. I anticipate that JAVA based desktops
will soon compete with existing operating systems - imagine
an HTML page which contains apps like spreadsheets, database
tables etc. - why go to that other window (Windows 95 or
Motif) - when everything is there inside ? As JAVA is linked
to distributed object technology (CORBA) as is already
underway with JOE (Sun) this O/S linkage will become clearer.
Existing SGML will continue - maybe to migrate to some
form of Window definition lanaguage ?
