[Pipet Devel] Announce: xml-mol mail list

[J.W. Bizzaro]

This is very interesting, and may be of some help.  I have communicated with
Peter Murray Rust in the past, and even took one of his VSMS courses.  He is
actually one of the early promoters of XML, before it was even standardized, and
of course he wrote the Chemical Markup Language (CML).

Perhaps I should announce Loci on that list.

It's interesting that they mention Python.  Peter has been a big Java fan, and
it seems they now have some interest in Perl.
