Timeline: does anybody realize that XHTML has been w3 spec since 1999? In other words, XHTML mainstream use is about, say, 2-3 years overdue because browser makers and web developers are too scared to make the change to better technology the way they did back in '97.
That said, I believe that XML will replace HTML in most applications if the companies that make the browsers/data readers/parsers XML/XSL/Schema compliant. And they won't do that unless there's enough demand for it. That means we have to start embracing this technology yesterday, and begin demanding nothing less than full w3 spec compliance in everything we do.
We gave up NN3 pretty easily. Why can't we give up tables and fonts?
