Sorry Sebastian, it may not fit your vision of the computing universe, but
the fact that mere mortals can work with XML in a text editor is one of its
greatest selling points, in my experience.
Otherwise, I think we'd all be sitting around playing with opaque binary
formats.
Oh yeah - we've done that already, and still do. Maybe it's time for a
change.
I think so, anyway, and I know lots of hand-coders who find it plenty
exciting.
