Part of the problem is not just coming up with a DTD, but importing all 
of the existing plain text or html recipes that you might have or find 
on the web.  Every cookbook/recipe CD/recipe website has its own 
format.  I, for one, am not going to hand-enter (or even scan) all my 
recipes.  But, if there's ever to be a standard it's got to start 
somewhere, neh?
