[ic] XML and Interchange?

[Bennett Grassano]

I recently came accross the usertag "xml_generator" and realized that this
seems to be the only utterance of XML in the archive. Is Interchange
compatible with XML or are they competing open standards? Is anyone out
there currently integrating XML and Interchange?   I know that interfaces
exist between Perl and XML but I'm having difficulty picturing Interchange
and XML working in concert.  Anyone else out there been wondering the same
thing?
