Rick,

Each of the web sites you list is actually an HTML site, although admittedly 
several of them use well-formed HTML (aka XHTML 1.0 Transitional).

A much more interesting question, I suggest, would be where are the good 
sites expressed in XML, rather than simply identifying HTML sites whose 
subject matter is XML.

It would also be interesting to know how many of these "XML websites" use XML 
in the back end. IBM Alphaworks uses Lotus Domino. I am not sure about the 
others you list, all of which by the way are interesting sites.

BTW there are a couple of minor errors in your list. Rusty Harrold's site is 
"Cafe Con Leche". What is the URL for citeseer (you repeated the URL for the 
Cover Pages, I think)?
