XML is a proper subset of SGML, which has been in existence for well over a
decade. One of the reasons that the XML recommendation was put together so
rapidly (for an international specification) was that there was a deep pool
of expertise from which to draw.

Here is one example http://mep.cla.sc.edu/, the Model Editions Partnership.

The Model Editions Partnership ('Historical Editions in the Digital Age')
was created "to explore ways of creating editions of historical documents
which meet the standards scholars traditionally use in preparing printed
editions. Equally important was the goal of making these materials more
widely available via the Web. The Model Editions Partnership is a consortium
of seven historical editions which joined forces with leaders of the Text
Encoding Initiative and the Center for Electronic Text in the Humanities.
The project is funded by a major grant from the National Historical
Publications and Records Commission and is supported by the University of
South Carolina, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and University of
Alberta."
