Ten years ago, on 10 February 1998, W3C published Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. W3C is marking the ten-year anniversary of XML by celebrating "XML10" and extending thanks to the dedicated communities -- including people who have participated in W3C's XML groups and mailing lists, the SGML community, and xml-dev -- whose efforts have created a successful family of technologies based on the solid XML 1.0 foundation. The success of XML is a strong indicator of how dedicated individuals, working within the W3C Process, can engage with a larger community to produce industry-changing results. "Today we celebrate the success of open standards in preserving Web data from proprietary ownership," said Jon Bosak, who led the W3C Working Group that produced XML 1.0.

评论：XML成为标准10年了，作为全球被广泛采用的信息交换标准，如今已成为我们整个现代生活的基础之一。也许不能直接看到，但是当我们在ATM/CDM上取款/存款时，当我们在超市结帐时，当我们浏览网页时，当我们打电话时，几乎都在发生着XML数据交换。
