One place to start might be to join the Python XML SIG. It has a high
S/N and most of the discussion is probably relevant to the Zope XML
effort.

It would provide the benefit of knowing what's currently available from
AMK, Four Thought, etc., which might be reusable for Zope.

Four Thought's 4DOM, 4XSLT, 4XPath are getting pretty mature, with 4ODS
and 4XLink in the wings.

Additionally, if you haven't the bandwidth (I certainly don't) to
follow the xml-dev newsgroup, the XML SIG gives you a filtered view of
all the mighty standards power struggles going on as we speak in the XML
world, so you can have some perspective on the right time to jump on the
Schema train and so forth.
