		Sounding more like Charles Goldfarb than Charles himself, Geschke said that customization of content delivery over the Web is only possible with the separation of form and content that underlies SGML and XML.
		Geschke claimed that there is room on the Web for both PDF and XML: PDF where there is no desire to further change or modify the content; and XML where further customization and editing is expected.

	Classic Planet PDF - A PDF Day 2001 Salute to John Warnock and Charles Geschke
		An earlier scan of the conference program revealed a notable departure from past Seybolds: among the list of keynote speakers, typically leaders within the publishing industry, there was no mention for the first time in recent memory of either John Warnock or Charles Geschke, co-founders of Adobe Systems and long-time Seybold headliners.
		So it came as a small surprise as we talked and dined that night on famous Boston chowder to spot John Warnock at a nearby table, looking fit, relaxed and happy at what appeared to be a small family dinner outing.
		(Geschke retired a year earlier.) If anyone deserves to have his privacy respected by mere peons in the publishing world that he and partner Geschke were major players in building, it was Warnock.
