I think this is the crux of the matter, and exactly what the "XML is not a universal hammer" folks (myself included) have been trying to get across. I use XML heavily along-side CORBA, and (by way of weak excuse/apology for my rather ad hominem attack on Dave Winer yesterday) I do get very frustrated when people champion using XML to replace very effective and general object-management systems. As much as I hate analogies, I'll hazard one: if you sell people Aspirin as a panacea, and they later on find out that it doesn't cure warts, cancer, dropsy or a crack habit, they might become sour enough to forget that it was actually a very effective pain-reliever.
