Look beyond Flash. Flex is also an XML-based development platform. This
is about development platforms, not web design graphics.

We had a group from Adobe give us a presentation about three months ago
on Adobe Document Services. Essentially, they are trying to make PDF a
development platform, just like MM is doing with Flash and Flex. I know
this because I asked them if that's what they were doing and they said
yes.
