Yes. Some keep overlooking the parts of the articles
that say element IS-A class. When one considers how
often the 'type' debates have gone on here, it is a
relief to see that being implemented.
Finally, a real extensible ML. About time.

No, not really. Don Box on his blog (http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/dbox/)
says:
XAML is just an XML-based way to wire up CLR types - no more no less.
Given the appropriate namespace decls, the following is legal (albeit
useless) XAML:
<Object def:Class="MyClass" />
which is equivalent to the following C# fragment:
public partial class MyClass : System.Object {}
XAML is domain-neutral, so while it may be used to create desktop
apps, web pages, and printable documents, it could also be used to
create CRM apps, blogging backends, or highly concurrent web services
provided you had a supporting CLR-based library to do the heavy
lifting.
That's really nothing like XHTML, XForms, or SVG; and I don't see a
straightforward way to adapt those technologies to Microsoft's purpose.
