http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/12/18/15316/685 is the most complete 
account of what Don Box actually said that I've come across.

Paul Cotton also dropped a hint at the Town Hall on XML databases that MS

Actually, since S-expressions are isomorphic to the basic XML data model, 
one could argue that X# == LISP :-)
