One of the more intriguing things to come out of Microsoft lately was a nearly throw-away comment from Don Box, a principle creator of the SOAP architecture and an architect with Microsoft's XML Standards group. When Don spoke at the IDEAlliance XML Conference 2002 in Baltimore, he announced that Microsoft had begun development on a new language he dubbed X#. While he didn't give many specifics about the new language, he did indicate that it would be used to treat XML as a first-class citizen in the .Net programming arena.
