That still doesn't explain why XML-Dev is freaking out.
Lousy - erroneous, sometimes wildly - articles about XML have been around
since the beginning. xmlhack could have probably filled up a 'stupid press
tricks' category long ago, and the Media category sometimes feels like that
anyway.
So why are people just starting to notice?
Seems like letters to the editor are a better answer than a stupid article
list on xml-dev.
