Martin Bryan. Introducing the Extensible Markup Language (XML) http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/internet/web/xmlintro.htm
This was similar to the cheatsheets we read before, except it is about XML. It also explains more deeply than a cheatcheet. Overall, it gave a good introduction to XML, and wasn't difficult to follow.
Uche Ogbuji. A survey of XML standards: Part 1. January 2004.
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-stand1.html
This was a good article about XML, discussing the core XML technologies. One thing I particularly liked about this article was all their links: links to various tutorials, references, and other resources as well. You would need to devote much time, though, if every link were to be followed, as each paragraph had several hyperlinks.
Extending your Markup: a XML tutorial by Andre Bergholz http://www.computer.org/internet/xml/xml.tutorial.pdf
(It says I would have to buy the article for $19; it is from IEEE Internet Computing, July 2000, pp.74-79... I will try to read this another way....) About this article, it says: XML introduces a family of languages to provide a more semantic management of information than HTML. (Later...) I finally accessed this article through: http://xml.coverpages.org/BergholzTutorial.pdf (am I the only one who had difficulty with this?). I must say, I liked the other things we've read better (links to tutorials or cheatsheets).
XML Schema Tutorial http://www.w3schools.com/Schema/default.asp
This tutorial teaches how to read and create XML Schemas and how to use the language. It offers many links and is very easy to find certain topics. Overall, I thought this was a great website.

Jean,
For some reason I found the Bryan article hard to follow and had to re-read a couple of times before it all clicked for me. It seemed like each article though got easie and easier to follow
I agree with you that w3schools web-sites are great...I can see those sheets being by me while I work on the web-page assignment
I did not have any trouble linking to the article - just clicked on the link in the course documents and it brought it right up.
I do agree that the w3schools tutorials are very easy to follow - but the whole coding thing is a bit over my head right now. It seems like a lot to learn in a very short time.
