On Wednesday, RealNetworks announces an initiative built on what it’s calling the eXtensible Media Commerce Language (XMCL). This is a “dialect” of XML that’s designed to establish industry-wide standards for digital commerce, including music clips.

The company claims that, if adopted, XMCL will enable content to be played in a way that is independent of codecs, digital rights management systems and e-commerce systems. It will also simplify deployment and accelerate the market for digital media commerce over the Internet.
