Hmmm... you'd think XML.com or another XML-specific outlet could report on
it.  XML.com did a very good job as a forum for the XSL discontent, though
I don't know how they'd feel about the W3C gossip aspect of this story.
Perhaps, given another level of processing, C|Net and other outlets could
pick up XML stories with better context and less need for straitjackets.  

There's also a new 'XML Magazine' going up:
http://news.excite.com/news/pr/990910/ca-xml-magazine

Just a press release, no sign of an actual magazine yet.  (www.fawcette.com
does include reviews of Palo Alto restaurants in their resources area,
however.)  They might also be able to provide news for the markup-obsessed,
eventually.
