I started my visit to Montreal for Extreme Markup Languages 2006 very early, and at the moment (although probably not by the time I've finished this) I'm sitting in on a continuation of today's daily polemic (opinion statement) that has a significant subset of the conference's attendees rather stirred up. In his polemic, "XML for publishing", Joe Gangemi argued that XML technologies do not adequately support the needs of publishers. He clearly wanted more time to vent, so we all decided to get together for a nocturne (late impromptu session). I went to get food first, which turned out to be a good idea.

The schedule at a glance is available here and has links to abstracts of all of the talks.
