If you track XML for business processes you should subscribe to [Conmergence/](http://edodds.blogs.com/conmergence/). I had been doing so for a while, and find it an invaluable resource, alongside the maven extraordinaire du XML – [Robin Cover](http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/2004/pr111604.html), responsibe for [The Cover Pages](http://xml.coverpages.org/).

Anyway today Ed Dodds points out that the folks at slashdot may be just as guilty of MS, IBM, and WS-\* bias as any other media outfit. Just because you attack it doesn’t mean you arent biased towards covering it… Maybe ebXML just ain’t geeky enough, but it is patent free, demonstrably open, and increasingly baked.

Keep it up Ed.
