I fear you have gone a bit too apocalyptic :-)
 
The point I took away was that languages like XPath are suited for
handling XML, while languages like Java are not.  Therefore, as
programmers find themselves more frequently manipulating XML, they need
to either use XPath/XQuery/XSLT or else get better support in their
language of choice.
