RE: XML under JDK 1.0 and spacecraft

Yes, I saw that.  We have dished that subject 
so often here, I felt in light of other 
long torturous threads, it wasn't worth 
mentioning.   A problem with that announcement 
is that standards being written requiring Java 
support now have a download problem for a 
certain percentage of the target audience.

I'm excited about web services.  It solves 
certain large problems in my industry.

<absurdity>What!  You don't consider XML programming? 
They said HTML was and paid accordingly. 
Did I miss the memo? </absurdity>

And here's the last paragraph of that article, which has nothing
much to do with Java:

# Microsoft, meanwhile, has recently begun developing a set of Internet
# services, called .NET. based on another programming language, called
# XML. The .NET strategy calls for selling a series of paid services
# over the Internet that users can access on any computer device. This
# could range from booking plane flights to buying concert tickets.

XML, a programming language?
