…I reject the notion that XML-centric design requires new languages and / or runtimes. It’s not that those things wouldn’t be useful, it’s just that they aren’t required. If vendors applied more creativity to solving the problems without reinventing the specs, languages, platforms, etc. and if developers were realistic about the extent to which it is possible or even desirable to hide XML, we would get to a much better place without starting over yet again.

I still haven’t seen any good way to deal with these issues. One intriguing example was a TIBCO General Interface demo from Jon Udell. There they dragged and dropped xml schema elements on to the objects they wanted them bound to.

Pointers to examples of creativity in this problem space are welcome.
