A year and a half ago, that was the case -- anything based on XML was
necessarily experimental and not yet safe for widespread deployment
(note today the problems with CDF, which was based on an early XML
draft); since February 1998, however, when the W3C issued the XML 1.0
Recommendation, XML *has* been there.


All the best,


David
