It's a brain dead article. He clearly doesn't know anything about XML, he's
been hearing Steve Ballmer yell the word (he doesn't know what it is either)
over and over and he wrote a column saying "I think this is the year." Not

what's really going on he might have noticed there's a fly in the XML
soup -- patents. Dave
