After reporting on IE5/Mac's XML features
(http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/05/03/msie/index.html)

I'm a bit mystified to hear some odd rumors:
(from www.macintouch.com)
>Two MacInTouch sources offered more confirmation of Microsoft's
>dissolution of the Mac OS Internet Explorer team 
>
>  [Source 1] "I have friends who worked on the IE5 team.
>  Despite the protestations of the MS PR flack [see
>  yesterday's report], the team has in fact been broken up,
>  there are no plans for future Mac versions of IE, and many
>  team members are looking for new jobs, both inside and
>  outside MS."

I've been recommending IE5/Mac lately to Macintosh developers wanting to
use XML - this would have a definite (chilling) effect on such
recommendations...
