Actually I think that for many of developers that disconnect exists and
is longstanding.
But I don't think it has any bearing on the viability of pushing XML
down the stack in the way Kurt's report seemed to be suggesting
(whether or not that was what Don _meant_ to say). There's too much
exisiting infrastructure for that to be viable outside of relatively
closed environments.
Like I said: look at IPv6, or look at multicast.
