Representing Music Using XML

I clipped this from an XML newsletter I receive. Thought it might be of interest...

Representing Music Using XML
==========================================================
http://www.recordare.com/musicir2000/abstract.html

WMusicXML is an XML-based music interchange language. It
represents common western musical notation from the 17th
century onwards, including both classical and popular music.
The language is designed to be extensible to future coverage
of early music and less standard 20th and 21st century
scores. Non-western musical notations would use a separate
XML language. As an interchange language, it is designed to
be sufficient, not optimal, for diverse musical applications.
MusicXML is not intended to supersede other languages that
are optimized for specific musical applications, but to
support sharing of musical data between applications.
