Do you really like this stock long term? If you mean do I like the future revenue potential of companies like webmethods with XML, then the answer is definitely yes. Imagine when Boeing bought Macdonald Douglas. If all the content (inventory, etc.) was coded with tags like HTML tags that identified the content and gave it meaning, then Boeing could just dump it into existing XML compatible applications and it would read the "meaningful data" and put everything into proper catagories, etc on the fly based on what each type of application is designed to generate as output. The same hunk of XML coded data could be interpreted in any # of ways by any # of people for any application. Try doing that with HTML pages.
