a "presentation layer" called Avalon that uses XML as the basis?
prepare for some nasty confusion :-/
The best we can do is make the AvalonIMHO the worst thing about it is not the name.
brand be Apache Avalon, and make it clear that the cheap knock-off at
Microsoft is in no way endorsed by Apache :/.
They are recreating XUL with their vocabulary,
It is INNOVATION! Write it forever: INNOVATION! They are INNOVATING XUL names! This is top INNOVATION! Did you don't see this? They are the TOP INNOVATION company in the world. :-DDDD
but worst of all, they
are going to use a superset of SVG for drawing!
The same game over and over. :-( Then I see SVG in the future with the same problems as HTML:
Did you remember our Javascript Calendar and related problems to HTML rendering in IE, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, etc? It looks like an endless loop. They usually try to kill standards. What about XML and XSL in MS. They innovated the standard too? I hope Linux will soon shutdown them.

Sorry to shock you guy’s but if you see this from the positive side than you may recognize that this could also be a great chance for Apache Avalon and Avalon releated projects.
When MS starts to launch there marketing machine, there will be *the* chance to but also Apache Avalon on the spotlight.
Even if MS-Avalon is not covering the same aspect of Apache Avalon a lot of people will find there way to Apache Avalon. Finnaly if there are Java related people they will take a closer look an found out that Apache Avalon is great.
So rather to start complaining or worring about the technical and standard aspect (where I agree with your point of view), just polish the Avalon website and point the success of Apache Avalon out. I think that Avalon has a tremendous success track, if you count the success of Cocoon and other real live Mission Critical Project than you have to say wow - Is MS Avalon having already this success track? I would say no it is just marketing and some metoo strategie bla bla.
It’s a chance to a kind of relaunch of Apache Avalon there is just to ad/write some magazin article, book etc. and the success will be ours :-).
