From Dave Winer:

Last week I was emailing with an architect at one of the major enterprise software companies, a huge company with offices all over the world. She told me that RSS 2.0 has become the framework for all their work now, completely replacing J2EE.

Ok, I don't really understand that, at all. I get using RSS as a default data format to be passed around, and using HTTP instead of SOAP. J2EE is a technology stack though, not a data format. This is the kind of mindless buzzword passing that too many people in the industry do - "replace your (insert technology here) with XML!"

My wife is facing that kind of situation at work, where a bunch of non-technical managers have read one too many magazine, and decided that XML is the "language of the future". No wonder she sometimes grinds her teeth.
