It would be interesting to find out just how prevalent XML really is. Where is XML really being applied?
StepNC is one area where XML is being pushed as the future of CAD/CAM/CAE (a subject of interest to me).
Personally, I prefer XML style for configuration files without the overhead of DTD, XLST, and all the other bloat/buzzwords that often goes with it.
XML has its place, but I'm not sure its in business information systems.
As a way to store structured data in a human readable format, it has it's uses. As a solution to all/any problem, very doubtfull.
