RE: [xml-dev] Microsoft Hypes Up XUL As The Greatest Expiriment S ince Adam And Eve
VML has been there for a while if that is a redo of VML 
so if they rolled it, they did it by repackaging old 
tobacco.

It is the performance of the mush of different XML 
languages and objects that would make me wince.  One 
has to ask, why do this in XML at all.

It does look like they're rolling their own version of SVG.
