I think these were two key points. The requirement for SGML  
compatibility, plus the expertise from the field that guided SGML  
feature selection, resulted in broad consensus. There were already a  
number of XML-like subsets out in the wild, and in particular, in 2  
commercial browser-like applications (SoftQuad and EBT).

BTW. I should note that the ERB/WG split happened after the group got  
big enough to justify the split. There was a lot of formative work  
done before the ERB split off.
