The web server Roxen uses a similar format for its configuration files.
I don't know if it's truly SGML, or just easy for the web server to
parse.. For example, here's a snippet from the part of the file that
enables user directories:
<region name='userfs#0'>
<var name='dir'> <str>/public_html/</str> </var>
<var name='put'> <int>0</int> </var>
<var name='mountpoint'> <str>/~</str> </var>
<var name='banish_list'>
<a>
<str>root</str>
<str>daemon</str>
<str>bin</str>
<str>sys</str>
</a>
</var>
</region>
Every tag has an open and a close tag, <var name=""> defines a variable
name, and the data inside defines its type. <a></a> is an array
container.
