ECMAScript for XML

I just noticed that ECMAScript for XML is now a standard.

It gives me the jeebies that XML should become a native data type in a programming language. Though, the statement I just made is sloppy because not only is the data type XML's "Infoset", not "XML" itself, but adding the Infoset to the language is only one of the pieces. The other is that you can represent XML itself natively in the language by actually typing XML code that the language recognizes, parses, and then represents as an Infoset or whatever.
