My experience is that much formal training is a waste of time for good people.  Buy 
them some good O'Reilly (and other) books on XML and give them some time to play 
with the open source tools.  For good developers that is usually more productive, 
faster and cheaper (and often more fun for them).  Or send them to the nearest XML 
conference with some specific goals that they need to achieve.

If they are poor developers, then why bother wasting your money?
