The ability for a thousand different applications to share identical plumbing is a significant step forward, not something to be sniffed at by jaded experts. This isn't just for the bean counters - XML means that people can finally start sharing data without everyone needing to have precisely the same set of tools. Sharing a format like this can reduce costs across the board, not to mention aggravation. Reducing costs makes it possible to create much grander applications and move into new fields. XML is an excellent fit for component-based development, allowing people to use each other's work instead of having to reinvent the wheel constantly. Less need for reinvention means more time for real work. I'm at work building tools and documents I hope will contribute to this movement, and I hope others are as well.
