So that's where the orange XML icon came from.

Even though I made the little icon, I've since forgotten how it came to be. Thanks to Dave Winer's Weblog/time-machine the exact conversation has been preserved.

"People always ask where the white-on-orange XML icons came from. Well, here's the requirements doc, written on this day in 2000. Bryan Bell read the doc and designed the graphic." - Scripting News

In retrospect, if I knew it was going to be so popular I might have put a little more sex appeal into it, but at the time I was just doing a favor for a friend who asked for an orange block with XML written on it.

Sure thing I said, and 5 seconds later this () pops out. funny how things workout.
