Interesting list of XML stocks, but... You missed LEAF, which is the closest thing to a pure-play publicly-traded. I've been following XML companies for a while now (I only own BLSW), and, unfortunately, they are pretty much all privately-held. webmethods is the really killer one - it just filed and will be quite an explosive IPO. One stock I own, Softbank, has a stake in the leading Japanese one - Infoteria. There should be a ton of XML-related stocks flooding the market next year.
The OnDisplay IPO should really boost attention to XML and spread the wealth. XML is not a "fad", though it's not clear who will rake in cash from this lingua franca of Internet information (I would hazard to guess ORCL is one). Your list also fails to include Object Design (ODIS). Take a look at their chart and you will see this stock has been a pile of sh*t until the market caught on to all their PR on XML. As for Harbinger (I used to live 1 mile from their shiny Atlanta headquarters), they're a big EDI company, among other things, not XML per se.
Other privately-held XML companies I wish would file or let me invest in them: Arbortext, Scriptics, Extensibility, UWI.com, and Vervet Logics.

What these companies do might not be really sexy but they are using XML. This technology is necessary and quite profitable for some of these companies who convert information for viewing on the internet.
