RE: [xml-dev] patent application (MSFT)
If it covers material affected by those 
implementations, it will depend on the 
licensing terms.  MS could choose to 
grant RF to these implementors.  Let's 
see how this plays out.   The details 
matter.

I wonder how this will effect other .NET CLI implementations (Ximian's 
Mono, Corel's Rotor FSF's Portable .NET).

Java, Python and PHP cover all my needs, as I bailed out of MS related 
development some time after .NET came out (JIT;-). However, there are 
some really good things in .NET that could benefit open projects.
