I am subscribed to a miling list from ZDnet and this morning's issue's main article is about XML and the future. It is also useful (the list) for all sorts of other subjects regarding the industry in general. Take a look at
http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_3533.html for the article on XML, but I'd recommend you also subscribe... You never know when something interesting can show up in there! (No, I don't work for ZD, but I do admire some of the stuff they offer)
