SMDL

SMDL (ISO/IEC 10743) is also a standard. It builds on SGML (ISO 8879) and HyTime (ISO/IEC 10744). The problem: this standard isn't finished. The project members waited for the second edition of HyTime which was finished in 1997.

See using SGML architectures in XML . This is necessary but not sufficient to process SMDL with an XML parser.
