do you not realize the differences between xml and html/xhtml?
seems like on a couple of people actually know about xml, here.
html and xml are NOT the same. never were the same, never will be the same.
and xml has been in widespread use for years. just not in website design - which makes perfect sense, because it's NOT for web page design...it is for transference of information and data, not site design/layout/development.
read something about xml.
go pick up xml journal or a similar industry magazine.
it's programatic use for data mining and relational database application has been in use for a long time.
not too mention it's use as data structure for embeded systems like heating and cooling systems, security systems, etc...
i'm sorry to be an ass...but what i am reading is a bunch of misunderstandings about what xml is and does.
it has nothing to do with website design or markup.
if anything is has to do more with architecture and database communication.
i used to develop xml based ui's for firmware installed on huge HVAC equipment - for stadiums and such...never once did the web play any part in such a project.
