I published top 10 list below at the peak of XML fad within my company. Soon afterwards some person came back to me telling that he run a search engine on "XML and polymorphism" because his client was asking "If XML can handle polymorphism" (ah, customers, customers:-). He found my message, and naturally was expecting an answer from me!

1. You can make your Exceptions to be XML messages
2. If you don't like the data just apply stylesheet to it
3. What did you say, distributed transaction?
4. We can handle polymorphism too, you know...
5. There is ANSI comittee
6. EDI is alive!
7. I really want that piece of html success
8. What SQL?
9. Everything is XML data!
10. We don't want Microsoft to get away with it
