XML is a "new, improved" version of HTML, used for creating web pages. I put new, improved in quotes, because a better description would be bloated and unwieldy. Personal opinion <G> At any rate, the only connection it could have to FO, is if Bruce decided to implement it in the Create a Website feature. I sincerely hope he does not.
