Yes, we do want XML to be popular on the web.  To index it, you need
to crawl it, and to crawl it you need to have links that can be recognized.

Once you've got links, you need shared semantics so that crawlers can
allow you to search by the recognized models they've found.

And, yes, we want to run Michael's XSLT over the data we can load
in via the script or link element.  Javascript is already in the browser.
XSLT 2 piggybacks on that.  That is HATEOAS.

And there are full XML parsers deployed in browsers, right?  

What am I missing?
