Offering the possibility to query any XML retrieval system in natural language would be very helpful to a lot of users. In 2005, INEX proposed a framework to partipants that wanted to implement a natural language interface for the retrieval of XML documents, independantly of the search engine. This year the different teams participating to this task had wonderful results. This paper describes our contribution to this project and presents some opinions concerning the task.
