You are correct...
According to MS DLL Help Database, XML4 is only distributed by MS with FoxPro8, SBS 2003 Premium, and Works 2005.
It is downloadable and installable by users. And I am sure there are some other apps that distribute it (seems to me that I needed it for some of my older DCOM apps), but generally it will not be found on most users machines.

And for ObeyMe... comments: Internet Explorer is specified because it is needed to reach the exploit. Those OS listed may be affected, but only if XML4 is installed.

But XML4 is not widespread or normally installed, so the threat is somewhat minimalized.
