Just out of curiousity which XML in ASP 2.0 do you have in mind?

I have to do some work for the next little bit with Sharepoint, that
means I will have to do a lot with their caml markup
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms948028.aspx I remember
thinking two things when I looked at the language:

1. Gee, nice choice of an acronym for your language. way to complicate
my websearching  (ok I guess I tend to just search for ocaml stuff,
but still it is a bother)

2.  I could pretty easily write implementations of much of this for
other platforms. (major sticking point I think would be database
stuff)

Cheers,
