And it's been complicated by inconsistent browser implementations of XML
(vendors: get behind the Oasis effort!) and its supporting standards (ditto,
www.webstandards.org).

For example, I've gotten very good XML+CSS support out of Mozilla M6 but
it hasn't worked very well with IE5 (no list styles, "pre" breaks, etc);
and no browser conforms to XSL yet.

Given that status quo -- the role of XML isn't yet downloading XML to
clients.  But I suspect that role will increase ... :-)
