I'm not there and don't worry I wasn't trying to get it onto the agenda.  I've sat on this for so long I just had to get it out this week or it would have been another year.

My own view is that XML is already being used for DNS data in a number of places (e.g. control of Nominum servers) that the question has already been asked and answered.
