I wandered off to http://opera.inrialpes.fr/thot/AboutThot.html
and Thot in relation to SGML makes a lot more sense.  In
particular, the project started in 1983, a couple years before
the SGML standard was finalized by the ISO (but a couple years
after the first SGML working draft and a good decade after GML
which was the basis of SGML). I also didn't realize that Thot was
related to Grif, which I am familiar with.  Grif evolved into
using SGML as its base.
