Tar and feathers for me

XML.com just published a piece I wrote which was inspired at least in part
by the activity on this list.  (The issues here are just one aspect of
what's discussed, however.)  It comes complete with a discussion forum, so
I guess we'll get to see how it's received.

In any event, the article is titled "XML: A Disruptive Technology" and is at:
http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/06/21/disruption/index.html

It might be interesting for some folks here.  

I owe special thanks, I fear, to those least likely to enjoy the article.
