This is why XML programmers (and the companies they work for) will prosper. As soon as standards are in place, this market will boom. Only leaders of industry are preparing for this transformation. I see you own WEBM, I missed that one on the last market correction...the seem to be executing well also. John

Lizzie, I think you're right about the article. Besides, until companies take the plunge and wean themselves off some of their legacy systems, they are probably stuck with big consulting bills, not only to set up their data into XML for internal use, but also to set up the transforms for exchange with others. As you've seen first hand a lot of companies just won't give up their legacy systems without a fight. Calling XML an industrial version of HTML would probably cause a lot of people to dismiss the article.
