Invisible XML coming into focus

Abstract

Invisible XML has had a long incubation process, but in the last year things have heated up. A W3C Community Group has been formed, the spec has been improved, and implementations have been released or are in various stages of development. This paper gives an overview of iXML in its stable version 1.0 form, with discussion of some of the design decisions that have shaped it, and accounts from implementors of their practical experiences with iXML.
