Not just Wall Street - would anyone have guessed last year that a
commercial would be aired on primetime television about XML?  I know I
wouldn't have.  Its hard to believe that what do is now 'main stream' |-).  
My mothers been asking me for years what I do, now I can say "Watch the
Microsoft commercial because any dummy knows what XML is!" It's a strange
world we live in.
