Indeed.  But still I find myself jumping onto these bandwagons (Java
is another) and spending way too much time digging into them and
coding around them before working out that they're overhyped and
overvalued by marketing.  I wish I wasn't so easily misled. :-)

Anyway, I'm still wondering what XML has that ASN.1 doesn't?
