Writing software requirements specifications as XML documents has quite a few advantages. Using open source tools like Emacs, PSGML, CVS and xsltproc gives us a powerful Requirements Engineering tool.

1. Gather information using Emacs
2. Validating specifications using psgml and XSLT
3. Keeping track of changes using CVS and XSLT
4. Creating nice output with xsltproc
