That's not at all my experience. Almost all the XML we handle (documents) has been authored by humans, and eventually is viewed by humans. In the interim, it's processed by humans. All of this is done with the aid of machines, of course, but very little if any of it goes completely unobserved by humans. Eventually, once our development process is complete, we get out of the middle steps, but humans are still involved in the production and consumption of the documents. The exception to this is some transactional processing on the business side of our operations, but that represents a tiny fraction of the XML in our world (academic reference publishing). (Even in that area, humans enter the data that gets transformed into XML, and eventually view it too.) Maybe that says something about the economics of our business :) -Mike
