In a recent Washington Post interview I was quoted by Claude Bauer as describing the current XML landscape as being "like the Wild West". I was thinking more of people stacking out claims to uncharted expanses of priare. However: Susan Scrupski-Miranda puts another spin on this: http://forum.aspnews.com/general/keynotes/SS0001.htm Excerpt: "Counsel is coming in a steady stream of sound bites. Yesterday's pop wisdom - "If you build it, they will come" has morphed into, "They're coming; Build Something!". I can't but help be reminded of many earlier instances of software development - and the classic cartoon of a roomful of programmers, with the analyst stepping out the door with the comment being thrown back into the room - "You all start coding, and I'll go and find out what the users want". The more things change - the more they stay the same.
