You guys are great, the article is getting better by the day. There's
still room for improvement; this has the potential to be something
you'd point anyone to who's just trying to figure out what this XML
thing is all about. I think the article could still use a little bit
more intro/pedagogical/tutorial material; explain not just describe.
I'm starting to think that in the future, it will be an explicitly or
implicitly recognized responsibility associated with being an expert
in any subject X to have some responsibility for the care and feeding
of the Wikipedia entry on X.
