What I meant was that IBM is pouring money into XML, using C++ and
Java as the proof-of-concept languages.  It would be easy for python
to fall off the leading edge if they got too far out there.  Binding
directly to the C++ library keeps that connection.

Not that I approve of all this churning of standards.  XML was meant
to be simple -- and it was until business people figured out they
could get lockin with complex standards.

Expat has XML Schema and UDDI?
