ITtoolbox Security reports that the House of Representatives is moving to code bills in XML beginning the first of 2003. Their explanation of why this is significant is exactly why XML was created: "Current House output is searchable only by bill numbers or keywords, but in XML it would be searchable by titles, names, tables, subheadings and other components. A folder of XML documents essentially becomes a database searchable by browser. "

More information, as well as sample government xml files, available at xml.house.gov.
