Hi Jim,

> What became of NIFF, if anything?

NIFF was little-used outside the scanner community, and is now
generally considered obsolete:

> Is MusicXML some outgrowth of NIFF?

MusicXML has similar goals of being a music notation interchange
format, but just about everything else is different. For more
information about some of the technical differences, see:
