Dear Tim

I agree with you that there is limited focuses (possibly 2) for using XML in current IT opinion.

This very much reflects what I see and experience in the field ( work for the services dept. of a enterprise software company ).

* No webservices, pretty much
* XML/XSLT used for display primarily, or passing XML docs around for different apps talking to eachother (with the XML "invented" as one goes along, and either with or without schemas - in the latter case, the schema usually comes after the fact, generated off an actual XML doc.)

Oh, and virtually no .Net at all... (all Java)
