Seems it's not just politics that's local, it's also XML conferences.  I
haven't paid much attention to MarkupForum [1], mostly because I don't
speak German, so I wasn't considering it.

XML London only started last year, so it's hard to say how much attention
you should pay it.  I was local to it last year since I was working near
London at the time, so I went, and this year it's a short plane ride away,
much like the rest of Europe is.

I've never been able to go to XML Amsterdam.

More people, certainly.

Agreed.
