1.	Shortly after writing my "Let's Get Technical!" piece, Jeremy Allaire got in touch, as did Esther Dyson (thanks Esther!) and we're now moving forward on bridging XML-RPC and WDDX.

3.	I don't know if this is the reason why, but shortly after this piece, our interchange format, XML-RPC caught fire, and now there are full client/server implementations for Python, Perl, Java and a client for ShockWave.
4.	I have hopes that we'll get an endorsement from a major platform vendor shortly, we're working on it, so things keep moving in XML-Land, and that's good! And we're looking forward to working with our new friends at Allaire to build compatible bridges with Cold Fusion and the other environments they support with WDDX.
