A few months ago, Dave Winer posted the following URL on xml-dev:


http://www.hotbot.com/text/default.asp?SM=MC&MT=&search=SEARCH&DC=100&DE=0&A
M0=MC&AT0=words&AW0=&AM1=MN&AT1=words&AW1=&savenummod=2&date=WH&DV=0&DR=newe

(You'll need to reformat it from this e-mail message to get it all on one
line in the browser window's URL field.)

It runs a HotBot search for Web sites serving XML documents. When I ran it
just now, it came up with 800+ hits. Quality and relevance to your research
may of course vary, but it may be useful as a starting point.
