The X Window system,
invented by Bob Scheifler; a standard interface between a program
and a screen that was ubiquitous on Unix systems. Unlike
Microsoft's Windows, from the beginning X allowed programs running
on one machine to display on another, across the Internet.
Scheifler ran the X Consortium from MIT/LCS for many years, then
spun it off, and eventually closed it.

worldwide consortium empowered with the stewardship and
collaborative development of the X Window System technology and

Ted Nelson's planned
global hypertext project.
A simplified successor to
SGML. W3C's generic language for creating new markup languages.
Markup languages (such as HTML) are used to represent documents
with a nested, treelike structure. XML is a product of W3C and a
trademark of MIT.
A style sheet language,
like CSS, but also allowing document transformation.

Glossary for this

Linking support for XML. XLL defines
the #anchor syntax component of URIs for XML. A syntax for
identifying elements in a document tree (e.g. based on element
names that can contain arbitrary characters in XML), as well as for
identifying portions of text, is defined. For consistent
identification of portions of text, either or both of string
identity matching and string indexing are necessary.

compatibility between XPath 2.0 and XPath 1.0.
