XML Support in IE 4.0

[Andrew Layman]

Internet Explorer 4.0 ships with a high-performance XML parser DLL
written in C++ and a parser written in Java. Both parse any well-fromed
XML. IE4 also ships with an XML data source control (Java) which reads
XML and binds it into an HTML page. I believe that both Java items
include full source code.

The Wall Street Journal demonstration was not based on CDF but on the
Java XML parser and data source control.
