Is XML dead already or what? Was: RE: What is XML for?

[Dave Winer]

>>What we need the XML-like structured repositories for is document-like
information, like technical manuals, news stories, literature,
scientific papers, and other stuff that does *not* have a
straight-forward mapping to relational DB tables.  No one has a good,
scalable solution for this now.

We already have this. I hate it when people say things like "No one has a
good,
scalable solution for this now." We do. Are you supposed to be an expert on
this stuff or do you just like to hear yourself talk?
