There are some stories popping up that Microsoft will introduce a functional
programming language to process XML and called it X# (X-Sharp).  It may be
of interest to some in this group.  For some info:

The final quote comes from a person with an ironic name:

"Is there a need for this?" asked Mike Sax, CEO of Sax Software Inc., of
Eugene, Ore. "The only XML 'language' we have today is XSLT [Extensible
Stylesheet Language Transformations], which was originally conceived as a
way to transform XML data into presentation-centric HTML. Although XSLT is
fairly widely used, its power is limited, and it is fairly hard to use."
