XML and DAISY

First transition to a full XML fileset with Daisy 2.02 (2001)
This recommendation uses XHTML 1.0, an XML reformulation of HTML:
  • Adds a significant simplification for playing devices
  • Adds futuresafing
  • But does not add grammars authored for the particular purpose
First release of Daisy 3 (Z39.86-2002) (2002)
Introduces specific grammars for:
  • The Navigation Control Center (NCX)
  • The Full Text of the publication (DTBOOK)
  • Device-interchangeable bookmarks
  • and more...

Focuses in these grammars on the rigidity of structure, and a simple but semantically rich grammar for print books.
