Web Services & Mac OS X 10.1
Several Apple pages address Mac OS X 10.1's AppleScript support for communicating with Web Services applications via SOAP and XML-RPC, XML-based Internet protocols. Along with the link above, a page on AppleScript in Mac OS X provides useful context, one on Script Menu shows a nice interface tool and offers downloadable Internet Services scripts that build on Mac OS X 10.1's ability to handle XML-RPC and SOAP, and another tells of AppleScript Studio, a set of Mac OS X script and interface development tools said to be "available later this year." Another Apple page has general OS X XML information for developers.

RoustaboutXT 2.0 & XPress XML 2.0
Apropos Toy & Tool Development have announced two XML tools for QuarkXPress (4.04 and up). RoustaboutXT 2.0 supports XML-based import and export of QuarkXPress text, preserving ligatures, ornaments, mathematical and scientific symbols, anchored text and pictures, and so on. The less flexible and lower-cost XPress XML 2.0 "imports and exports formatted text to and from QuarkXPress in much the same way as the the XPress Tags filter does, but because the XPress XML format is XML, it is easier to learn and XPress XML files can be used by any standard XML application, such as a browser, editor or transformation tool."

FileMaker Pro Developer 5.5
Users of FileMaker Pro Developer's XML features may be interested in checking out this recently released version 5.5. It's not clear from the company's online information whether this upgrade adds news XML functionality beyond that of v.5 (do any early adopters out there know?), but its new Database Design Report feature can generate documentation as either an FMP database or in an XML-based format.
