It seems that when you picked up an XML book, you put down your CF book.
Just a couple of examples...XML doesn't magically pull queries from it's bag
of tricks, nor does it securely store shopping cart data. Any processing
done by the browser of XML is just as insecure as javascript.
XML by itself actually does nothing. It's all in what you do with the extra
data available to you. There will be tools that process xml and perform
actions on the data on the server side, just like CF does now. I'm sure
Allaire will have all sorts of nifty XML tools available when the standard
matures. When it comes down to it, CF is still easier to learn.
XML in my toaster even!

> <DIV>I've been reading up on XML because I want to learn more about what
it is. It seems to me that it will probably replace cold fusion when it gets
up to speed at where it wants to be. What is your opinion about this. Here
are some points I found in my research that led me to believe this. These
are things that cf seems to do now:</DIV>

the same data to different users.

information discovery to the needs of individual users. </LI></OL>
