.mspx extension is like an .aspx extension (Asp.Net provides you with possibilities to create your own HttpHandlers and HttpModules) registered in IIS with custom web handler written by Microsoft to generate content for that request.

The extension is used by a system called the Microsoft Network Project (MNP), an XML-based presentation framework used on Microsoft.com in conjunction with their content management system.

Content developers can use .NET technologies to create XML-based content that is easily sharable between workgroups and Web sites.

The Microsoft.com Web content development team built the Windows Server 2003 product site, using XML and XML Web services in order to showcase the .NET functionality in Windows Server.

You can identify XML-based pages on Microsoft.com by their .mspx file extension, rather than the more common .htm, .html, or .asp extensions used by other Microsoft.com pages.

One benefit to XML-pages is that XML templates and schemas are easier to work with when localizing Web content for other languages.

A single schema can be reused by several international Web sites.
