The eWeek gossip columnist had a bit on the methodology of another well known research firm http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1226690,00.asp "[the analyst] who admitted his research methods involved calling some [xxx] customers and asking how they liked their IDSes, remained unconvinced." </rant> That being as it may, I guess the "penetration" metric you need depends on what you're selling. If it is developer tools, I guess you care about the percentage of developers who are directly exposed to XML; if it is network infrastructure, you care more about the actual volume of data on the network. The only hard numbers I've seen about the actual penetration of XML is in references to the percentage of enterprise network traffic that is in XML format. I don't have the references to the $$$ research reports themselves, but I've seen figures attributed to Gartner that this figure was about 2% in 2002 but is expected to rise to 60% in 2004; and figures attributed to Zapthink [maybe the source is the full report described at http://www.zapthink.com/reports/ZTR-DI101.html] that the figure is 1.6% in 2002 projected to rise to 24% in 2006.
