Tie XML to Java in an application.  That means one knows what is XML 
and what is application.  If that works for the designer, it provides 
both portable data and an interoperable application within the virtual 
machine.  If you have used COM to do that, you have tied your data 
to a COM-aware application.  Works for me.  Now, after one does 
that, what is still interoperable?
