RDS and Data Binding in Internet Explorer (IE) have been replaced by Microsoft's implementation of XML for IE 5.x. The only time I get interested in this stuff is when I say, Wouldn't be cool to have a progress bar in a web page that does not need to refresh every few seconds to see what the server is doing?
