Hello,

   Marc Clifton has kicked off a discussion about
Microsoft's claim that XAML is just a simple
serialization format that maps classes to tags or
attributes and that's it. Period.

   Now - surprise, surprise - if you dig in deeper the
mapping story is not that simple.

   You can read up on Marc Clifton's finding in the
four part series over at Marc's Blog with the tagline
MyXaml et al online @ http://myxaml.com/marcclifton

   Chris Anderson who leads the Longhorn Avalon dev
team at Microsoft has already responded with a blog
story titled "Is it [XAML] bollixed up?" online @
http://www.simplegeek.com/commentview.aspx/36697366-bbdb-4f55-8490-3aceafcf391d

   What's your take on it?

      - Gerald   

PS: Marc has also posted a summary of his findings to
the XUL News Wire in a story titled "Microsoft is
making a mess of XAML" online @
