I was asked in one of the other threads when I thought the proper context for using XP existed.
Since it didn't really relate to that thread I thought I would extract it out in to a blog.
It is here.
I would be interested in feedback to see if you agree or have a different twist on it.
When to use XP

Sorry, I am not sure why it failed.
I can maybe take a guess at why you would say you do not need to be a domain expert, since XP calls for one to be handy 24/7.
I listed it though because I have not beeen in an environment where that was not true. The teams have been small and dedicated to the same application long enough to become domain experts.

I guess we could, but I am stating what I have seen people do when it has work, not what the recipe calls for.
Just like the RUP, I have seen it be successful as the UP. The problem with the RUP, is you never make it into the oven, because you would be adding ingredients all day.
I agree you are right when it comes to what the books say should be there, but I have not seen it happen.
If you have, that's cool. Tell us about it.

I try adding feedback to your blog but it kept failing.
I disagree strongly with needing to be a domain expert.

Well ... would that not be changing the concept of XP in order to disagree with it
My baked alaska recipe calls for vanilla ice cream.
Last month I made it with strawberry ice cream and noone liked it....
Terrible Recipe.
