i certainly hope that this is going to be true :-)
there are already some indications that such XML Spaces-like systems can
be built even now with more focus on read-write web such as somewhat old
WebDAV, new kid on the block i.e. ATOM protocol and AJAX that
read/writes XML data but provides "cool" factor to make it very
marketable and more ...
or less as it seems one lesson from the history is that only salient
features survive and they may be good enough to get 90% of technical
"potential" of XML Spaces accomplished on a scale that exceeds any
estimations and it will be more than enough (as it was case with
HTML/HTTP that took off after "cool" browser arrived).
