I think we've been taking the wrong approach to the XML thing and
haven't been thinking outside of the cliche enough. One of the two
principle problems with XML is that it puts into DNS the kind of
material that just doesn't belong there. But there is an obvious
solution to this: Instead of using DNS, we should use Active
Directory.
