I don't recall what the arguments against moving to XML/XSL were other 
than inertia.

It's surely true that the number of tools supporting XML/XSL and the 
number of people capable of working on an XSL based system (e.g. me) 
greatly exceeds those for SGML/DSSSL. I know certain prominent 
contributors who utterly detest having to work with SGML.
