Comma delimited ASCII remains the
preferred medium of exchange for many
systems.
What does XML or FITS offer over that?
The answers if obvious to most of us
seem mystical to a lot of people.
That's where the magic starts technically.
The magick of agreement is a very different
subject.
I don't want world peace. I want my
piece of the world to be peaceful.
So I decorate rocks.

XML has many of the same disadvantages and many of the same
advantages. FITS didn't bring world peace and neither will
XML, but in both cases they were worth the time, slowdowns,
and effort.
