Um, as regards XML, you're joking, right?  Look at the history.  It's

New "science" is arguably a potentially dangerous approach for a standards-setting body/group to take. Not least when it is paralleled by associated embedding of requirements for use of the result (XSD Schema) in other W3C technologies.
