John and David:

No, no, the new spec is XML exclusively. The existing DAISY 2.02
spec, which is the protocol governing all DAISY distributions in
place today--from Sweden, Japan, the U.K., and soon from
RFB&D--is all DAISY 2.02 which is partly XHTML. In point of fact,
text representations in DAISY 2.02 are XHTML, not XML.

Only the new ANSI Z39.86 spec is fully XML and there are yet no
implementations based on it, as there are yet no authoring tools,
validators, user agents, or even reference books.

We will see what it is that Book Share actually does with DAISY.
I, frankly, haven't looked for myself.
