So it seems that using CDATA for embedding HTML or other non-DSSSL markup is a hack. So that means that we will have to wait not only until all browsers supports XML parsing but also XSL stylesheets for display to put XML to work (I find CSS way too limited). This could take many many months, there's still a lot of Netscape 2s and MS IE 3 out there. Since I have control of servers but not of clients, I saw XSL as a way to put XML to work *right now* by parsing an XML grove on server-side on the fly and delivering it into different formats (HTML yes, but also email, DHTML for IE or for Navigator, HTML for palmtops, etc.).
