Re: [XPL - eXtensible Programming Language]

Well, I've been informed by Mark Wilson (who runs VBXML.com) that XPL 
has been mentioned on Scripting News (http://www.scripting.com/).  I 
may send a message to the OASIS announcment list, see what happens.  
We need more exposure than we are getting now.
