My response to the workshop is up on my blog: http://donxml.com/allthingstechie/archive/2004/04/28/645.aspx , and we can discuss them here, if you want, but I basically said "'bout freaking time". IMHO, you have 2 options, try to beat XAML out the door (unlikely at this point) or wait for it to hit the streets, learn from it's mistakes and make it better. I think Miguel de Icaza summed it up pretty well in his recent blog entry, Defining The Game: http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2004/Apr-24.html <snip> Although some of the discussion has centered around using a native toolkit like Gtk+/XUL to build a competitor that would have ISV sex-appeal, this is not a good foundation as it wont give us Web-like deployment (we need a stack that can be secured to run untrusted applications, and we need to be able to verify the code that is downloaded, which leaves us with Java or .NET). </snip> The same statement holds true for "Web Applications and Compound Documents", since they are very much the same thing.
