3 How XML fits into the new HTML world:
  • XML describes the logical structure of the document.
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) or other style language describes the visual presentation of the document.
  • The DOM (Document Object Model) allows scripting languages, such as JavaScript to access document objects.
  • DHTML (Dynamic HTML) allows a dynamic presentation of the document.
