Horror story: a client of the company I work for are planning to move to an XML-based data processing model. When asked why they were ditching the already working system for one that would do less (the already working system did stuff that XSLT just won't do, and validates things using semantic knowledge that DTDs and XSDs can't express), the guy who had made this decision said "I don't really know what XML is or how it works, but it's what everyone's using these days, and we need to keep up with the times" Ew! > Len -- Alaric B.
