Nelson has termed The Curse of Xanadu a hatchet job. There is discussion of that article, including links to archived versions of Nelson's responses to it at the c2.com page about it [1].
After an initial period of thinking Xanadu was vapourware, then feeling like the article was an uncharitable hatchet-job, I'm back to thinking it was vapourware. Nelson's responses seemed nit-picky at best, and when I downloaded the prototype/demo they'd made available I simply could not get it to work.
