With the recent work I've done regarding XParser and FooReader.NET, I've noticed a rekindling of my interest in XML.

I am seeing ways I can incorporate XML into the DHTML widgets. While I do like the programming interface I designed for my widgets, I can't help but feel that XML is the way to go. A menu system could be instanced and populated with very little scripting; settings can also be set in the same XML document. I'm seeing endless possibilities (and alot of work).

I'm also thinking of changing a few things with XAdmin. As it is currently set up, ASP.NET handles the XML/XSL translations, then sends that HTML to the browser. I'm beginning to think of bypassing the server completely except for adding, modifying, and deleting postings, categories, users, etc. Everything else could governed by the client.

I never thought XML could change the way I see and develop for the web. I love this technology more and more.
