Native XML Support with Sql Server 2005

I was just reading through the December CTP Help File for Sql Server 2005.  I noticed that Native XML support in Sql Server 2005 will require

• Windows Server 2003.
• Windows XP w/ SP2.

This requirement is due to the need for http.sys, which provides the http listener functionality to Sql Server 2005.

Update 12/23/2004: As you can see from the feedback, there is some good input from the folks @ Microsoft about this.  :-)  I had pulled this from the December CTP help file thinking that the requirement was a bit strange.  My guess is that this is a gray area in the help file.  XML in and of itself would seem to have no need for the Http.sys file.  The need for Http.sys would be from the ability to listen for a SOAP request.
