CGA is indeed doing a fine job; however, I would suggest that for XML
to benefit from contributions by more mainstream computer scientists,
within and outside academia, it would be beneficial to have the IEEE, ACM,
or USENIX arrange conferences as well. Such involvement would
undoubtedly
be helpful in establishing XML as a valid academic subject. Note, btw, that
currently DIMACS is arranging an academic workshop on Web technologies, and
XML
is the subject of some of the talks.
