Fraud: The Latest Sure Thing
Back in the early 90's, I envisioned a way of describing data that was less cumbersome than SGML (the grandfather of HTML) but used a similar tag-based convention.

Lo' and behold, someone later called that XML, and now many companies have products based on this.

Who would like to invest in my lawsuits over this theft of intellectual property?

Note: As soon as we raise enough money to fund the initial lawsuits and media frenzy, we'll go public so we can start selling our shares before any verdicts are issued.
