Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

The vendors have really done it now: they've gone and turned XSLT into a
real programming language with XSLT 2.0. That's not really news; but this
week Kurt Cagle explains in great detail what it means for the future of
XSLT and of XML processing.

Adobe launches Apollo, its web application runtime for the desktop:
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070319-apollo-takes-flight-as-adobe-lures-web-devs-to-the-desktop.html

Adobe has sort of quietly reinvented itself, from the company my graphic
designer wife was really interested in, to one that I'm starting to be
really interested in. I recently installed a version of Acrobat Pro 8.
Yes, it's slower than Apple's Preview on my OS X box, but it's packed full
of very interesting features, not least of which is a web-based collaboration
tool for doing shared document markup over the Web. Given that I spend entirely
too much time these days reading legal docs, I find this very cool.

Mine arrived today and I'm really looking forward to playing with it this
weekend. More when I figure it out.

Finally, a few weeks ago I posted some political content here and a few
people objected; at the risk of getting myself in trouble again:
