Several folks told me today they liked the recent XML-related posts (on RDF and webservices), so I thought I should pass along the crazy XML chart that's been floating around recently.

It has a few questionable things on it -- like GIF, PNG, and JPEG -- but the point is: if one were to be a master of XML, all these crazy things would be pies you'd have your fingers in.

I like XML, don't get me wrong. It just gets overwhelming and it's easy -- often, too easy -- for XML to become a golden hammer.
