Some of you may be interested in my latest essay, "Cement Shoes for XML?",
which explores some reasons why client-side XML support, at least in the
dominant browsers, may be slow in coming or perhaps worse. Hopefully, I
haven't said anything too rude, but it's the result of several weeks of
frustration brought on by reading articles about how slow and/or broken the
XML
development efforts in the current browsers appear to be.

Developers planning on using server-side tools to send XML to browser clients
will probably find it most alarming. (Myself included.)
