And that's a statement made more for amusement value than a
representation of actual fact. XML is a solution for a lot of
problems and it's already been widely deployed on a lot of them. It's
not XML's fault that people have attempted to use it for things it is
_not_ well suited for ("when all you have is a hammer...") and whether
or not it's suitable for the stuff currently under discussion is less
relevent than whether or not people can agree on ANY representational
format that isn't exactly the same as what we're using now.
