I couducted slightly more research on the subject of XPL names

For searches in the U.S. only:

U.S. copyright office records and found copyrights registered for the
following:

XPL compiler
XPL: Extendable Programming Language

The above bears looking into, but I couldn't be bothered figuring out 
the
telnet commands at this time of the evening.

I also found four trademarked versions of XPL, registered by:

XPL LUBRICANTS INC. (OIL CONDITIONER, PENETRATING OIL, GREASE, MOTOR 
OIL,
TRANSAXLE OIL, AND FUEL CONDITIONER)
Xplosif Inc. (CLOTHING; NAMELY, WOMEN'S BLOUSES)
Stillwater Designs & Audio, Inc.   (AUTOMOTIVE SPEAKERS)
Gersman, Lana Toni  (STENCILS FOR APPLYING LIPSTICK AND STENCILS FOR
APPLYING LIP PENCIL)

I could not find a thing on XPL being trademarked for the rest of the 
world.

Okay, you are right, there is a Pascal language out there called XPL
based on StatsPascal.  But, this language is still going to be called
XPL (because I didn't know about the Pascal name when I came up with
this idea.); what are they going to do...sue us?!  Doubt it.  But the
thing is, they don't really seem to use the term XPL anywhere except
in the titles of their documents (and only sometimes at that).
