I believe web applications will be both easier and more fun to build in XML. The designers will fiddle with stylesheets, while we, the programmers, will handle data with XSLT, for the most part. And XForms XForms will cover the weakest spot here: the data input. Actually, you do scripting in XForms. It's just that the scripts are written in XSLT, but that's a full-blown programming language! It happens to have a few <>'s in the syntax compared to e.g. JavaScript, but as long as you can manipulate the DOM that represents the form data and structure, you can do pretty much everything. Looking forward to that, it'll be fun.
