Wow, Stephen.

This is one of the best ideas I've heard of hedging against the dollar in terms if IT outsourcing cost. And I mean it.

I'm not in a position of valueing the description made, but I am willing to take the pill, no matter what.

What everybody needs is only to get to one million sterling project, taking half a year.

That's it, hedging done or not.

This week XML is ten years old. The core XML 1.0 specification was released in February 1998.

It's a nice anniversary to have.

The XML + Namespaces specification has a built in namespace declaration of http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. That's an implicit namespace declaration, a special one, governing all other. One namespace declaration to rule them all. Bound to xml: prefix.

XML was born and published as a W3C Recommendation on 10^th of February 1998.

So, well done XML. You did a lot for IT industry in the past decade.
