It's not that we have all this programmed.  If we did, we'd be nearly done. 
It's just that we've been talking about this stuff for more than a year now

That's good to hear, since Loci and Overflow have invested heavily in XML.

I wouldn't say that we're expecting you to code the core on your own ;-)
