Fair enough, but this was in 2000 - when I think the XML hype was at its height. I mostly pointed to it as lessons learned, though by some more than others! I wouldn't say that the fault lies with XML - but I'd happily say that the fault lies with common practices around XML, practices that I still hear regularly in conversations about how people would like to handle their data. > Bottom line: use XML where it's best suited, and employ good XML and > systems design. I know. Obvious, right? :) In 2009, to people who know a fair amount about XML - yes. To the rest of the world - I'm not so sure! Thanks, -- Simon St.Laurent http://simonstl.com/
