Where Are The XML Apps We Can See And Touch?
"Nobody’s more jazzed than me about Web services. But let’s not forget that people need to engage with those services. The first-generation Web did forget that. What was intended to be a collaborative medium turned into something more like television, and reduced people to sets of eyeballs. Will the next-generation Web make the same mistake? I hope not, and I believe XML can help us out. But not if it just reinvents the plumbing. It had better also improve the apps we see and touch."
