XML...software format for "metering" content and facilitating E-commerce?

techweb.com

Could this be the software standard that was referred to in July that was being developed by the omnipotent "Consortium"?

Interesting that National Semiconductor's opinion receives such prominence in the article. They are obviously very interested in the idea of small "packages" of content. Sounds like metering to me, although I get the feeling that a different type of content is meant here. And of course they are talking business to business transactions, before someone mentions that again.

Still sounds like a metering concept to me
Good for wavx?

Can anybody (everybody !) comment that understands the hype about XML?
