Sorry, I don't buy it -- I was looking for something more rigorous.

A large financial services firm in the Boston area converted from a 
variety of data silo's to an all-XML storage and data-interchange 
infrastructure and was able to decommission a significant number of 
servers.

Is that evidence or anecdote?  How can you tell?  Suppose I removed all 
the vagueness and replaced it with concrete numbers?

"I know it when I see it" is not an answer.
