desktop. The colors of your icons will appear to subtly shift as you
do so. In an attempt to address this situation,
displays such as monitors usually have a default gamma
value set; this is a factor that modifies colors
to account for display conditions. The gamma is typically set via the
operating system, although more expensive monitors may have their own
gamma settings. The problem is that different systems have different
gamma values. Thus, if you were to create a web page with a color
background and then display it on Windows and Macintosh machines side
by side under identical lighting conditions, the background color
DTDs are a simple way to make sure that 2 or more XML documents are of the same "type". Its a very limited approach to making "typed" XML documents shareable across systems. In the future some kind of schema system will be proposed by the W3C that should allow typing, instantiation and inheritance of information (in XML).
XML enables interoperability
All of the advantages of XML outlined so far all make interoperability possible. This is one of the most important requirements for XML, to enable disparate systems to be able to share information easily.
By taking the lowest common denominator approach, by being web enabled, protocol independent, network independent, platform independent and extensible, XML makes it possible for new systems and old systems (that are all different) to communicate with each other. Encoding information in plain text with tags is better than using propietary and platform dependent binary formats.

an image will be a certain number of pixels high and wide.
