"Will marketing hype kill off the intelligent development of XML?"

Yes, thank God.  We must give up trying to adopt and 
understand engineering requirements, formal methods, and 
contract-constrained development and return to the 
good old days of requirements so open no one knows 
what the goals are, religious adherence to the 
proclamations of popular personalities, and furthermore 
that ultimate dictum of all web systems, "if it doesn't 
have a URL, it doesn't exist".

Ah yes, 1993 to 2000:  life before the bomb was intelligent.

Not.
