Hence the need for something like a consortium offering a cash prize. 
Kickstart.

Here is how I would see it working.  15 organizations (banks, vendors, 
etc) get together
and put $1000 each into a kitty.  They announce that they will pay 
$10,000 first prize
and $5,000 second prize for the two fastest non-viral open source XML 
parsers that meet the bottom line of being twice as fast as libxml (as 
of current version) for a particular suite of ASCII-dominated 
transactions of about 1 to 10K each for non-validating parsing. Contest 
to run for six months.

What do the sponsors get out of it?  Worst case: no one wins; no cost, 
no benefit (though proving we need to go beyond XML does have a value 
actually!)  Best case: tiny investment, substantial reduction in 
performance of multi-million dollar assets and transaction rates, 
ability to adopt desirable new architectures. Techniques are open source 
non-viral so they can potentially feed into commercial products (at the 
end of the day, Bill gets all the $$$ no matter what!)

Any takers? Joseph Chiusano: know anyone?

Cheers
Rick
