Off-Topic: Question about closing of W3C XML Working Groups

Hi,

a little bit off-topic, so, sorry on that, but I know, that some core
XML people are on this list, who have been involved in one or more
charters/working-groups and thus I would like to ask, what all that

    Note: The XML Processing Model Working Group was closed in 2016.

on pages like the /XML Core Working Group Public Page/ and /XML
Processing Model Working Group/ page mean.

I am aware of the damaged state of XML, especially on the Web (HTML5,
JSON, etc.), but has XML lost its authoritative decisions body? Or are
these things now being done over at OASIS?

Is there some clarifying article/blog post, I could learn more about the
current state of affairs? One of the worst things, that could happen to
XML, would be, if, having become a niche-product, organizations would
start implementing and extending “in-house”, fragmenting what never
ought to become fragmented.

Thanks.
