Just as an eclectic followup, I taught a course in C++ for a company called 
SpaceBridge which wrote code that went on spacecraft.  halfway through the 
course, tehprogrammers came to the conclusion that C++ was not the right 
solution for them because of the problem with managing  and prediting the 
executable  sizes was not worth any benefits they gained form the daditional 
features of OO -- they went back to C.  I love to hear the arguments made for 
putting Java on a space craft.

Since then, I have wondered if we ever will see zero gravity extensions to 
XML.
