These employers may be overly optimistic. Last night I gave an advanced 
XML presentation to a large audience of uber-geek Linux folks. Based on 
post-talk discussion, I suspect only about 30-40% were reasonably 
conversant with XML prior to that evening. If I'd realized that in 
advance I would have pitched the talk at a slightly lower level. It's 
certainly true that XML is more broadly understood in the community than 
it was five years ago. However, I don't think it's yet reached the level 
of ubiquity of C or Java.
