I've got two major projects in progress that deal with Web publishing (vs. e-commerce), the first an e-learning initiative that uses a proprietary delivery engine that uses xml documents as source material (save but for the <a> element, the xml could have been an XHTML Integration Set conformant vocabulary. They've chosen to use their own linking model). The second is an content aggregation project that allows for delivery across multiple platforms (wireless and desktop, for instance), where again source material is stored in XML. Happily, I've found, industry groups are indeed getting together to build their own standards and are anxious to get those processes moving. We've been asked to provide advice to a broad spectrum of groups including those that you wouldn't normally think would be "ahead of the curve".
