The people on this list have either been speakers or workshop leaders
at major XML conferences or have been noted as "expert" by newspapers,

The amount and quality of biographical information varies greatly, but
I have included whatever was readily available either from conference
program notes or from company or personal websites.
I have combined your categories of "banking" and "brokerage" into
"finance" because the other two terms were used very infrequently. I
have added a category of 'non-specific" to include several persons
whose credentials do not fall easily into another category. Many of
those listed could easily be classified in more than one category.
