Encouraging words, Michael, for this dinosaur (I keep Goldfarb's SGML Handbook ready at hand; I have a printout of the DSSSL spec; I mourned the neglect of HyTime for decades). XML and associated processing technologies are for organizations that produce lots of long-lived, important documents, and it appeals to people with the mental capacity to appreciate and grapple with the problems associated with that endeavor.Oh - I should qualify - *in public* - we don't know what people are doing who are not talking about it.That's a very big qualification: I think we only see the tip of the iceberg on the public internet, and most IT activity is conducted in private. Further, the bigger and longer-duration the project, the more likely it is to be "under the radar", and the less likely it is to be following the latest fashions. I resemble that remark. Been doing it for 30 years now. Except my first attempt, written in Cold Fusion, because XSLT wasn't available. But we also see a steady stream of new customers. That's good. Best, --Paul
