Got it -
XML is the Cobol of EDI -
Very wordy large documents - every element is spelled out
with descriptions (can be read).
Some standardization with groups of companies
Can be displayed in a browser with XMLS (style sheet) support
Applications are now supporting XML interfaces - that is driving comps
asking for it

Subject: XML 101
Can anyone with XML and EDI experience provide a comparison between the two
methods of data exchange? I'm sort of looking for an XML 101 type overview.
XML, to me, appears to be a remake of EDI which still requires document
standards to be useful.
