I wasn't arguing about the input format -- what I meant is "Are there
any applications that take XML input and produce output that I might
prefer to the output of the programs I'm currently using?" If there
are, I would support a converter of some kind. But until there are
applications that use XML, given I obviously don't want to type it, I
don't see any reason to bother with it.
I agree that the extensibility of XML means that it may well have a
future as an exchange language between different applications. What I
was wondering about is whether it has a present as an input to any
useful application. Is anyone using it?
