| | 39 | <para><keyword>ease</keyword><keyword>documentation</keyword>It's not easy being an Empress of the Universe (<a href="http://www.universe.com"/>), but with the right pair of shoes and the right documentation on how to make footprints in the sand of life, it's easier than it was. Since the introduction of <acronym.grp><acronym>SGML</acronym><expansion>Standard Generalized Markup Language</expansion></acronym.grp> and <acronym.grp><acronym>XML</acronym><expansion>Extensible Markup Language</expansion></acronym.grp> it is now possible to identify and manage the key bits of information on this process.</para> |

| | 43 | <para><keyword>documentation</keyword>Since its inception, the Universe has always had sand, now it has an Empress, a good shoe design, and <acronym>SGML</acronym> / <acronym>XML</acronym> documentation. The time is now ripe for making <highlight style="ital">footprints</highlight> in the sand.</para></section> |
| | 44 | <section id="jd002"><title>Footprints - truly a push technology</title><keyword>push</keyword> |
| | 45 | <para>One could safely say that making footprints is a push technology. This is even more true when the footprint maker is the Empress of the Universe. </para> |
| | 46 | <subsec1 id="jd003"><title>The sands of time</title><keyword>time</keyword> |
| | 47 | <para>The 1<super>st</super> think to remember about the Universe is the time/space continuum to which it conforms. This then confuses the sands of time to be something more like the sands of time/space continuum because if you wait on those sands long enough they may be somewhere else - not necessarily because of the time/space continuum but because the winds will <highlight style="ital">push</highlight> them down the beach.</para></subsec1> |
| | 48 | <subsec1 id="jd004"><title>Identifying the footprints</title> |
| | 49 | <para>In order to truly understand who has walked on the sands and left the footprints, it is important to identify the <keyword>characteristics</keyword>characteristics of the footprint. In the graphic <xref refloc="jd005" type="title"/>, we can see the footprints are large, well shaped, and evenly distributed from front to back and side to side.</para> |
| | 50 | <figure id="jd005"><title>Footprint in Sand</title><caption><para>Note the evenly distributed shape and indention</para></caption><graphic figname="footprint"/></figure> |

| | 60 | <para>The remarkable footprint is made by a combination of a terrific shoe worn on a fantastic foot propelled by a one-of-a-kind Empress. As can be seen in Figure <xref refloc="jd007" type="number"/>, the shoe is worthy of an Empress.</para> |

| | 68 | <para>Documenting the shoe was the best part for Fred Bloggs. His superior design could be captured for all time in a neutrally-encoded, content-specific manner. An excerpt from his DTD gives an insight into the type of information he captured in his documentation.</para> |
