Title: Why XML is not self describing (was: Xml is _not_ selfdescribing)
Even the initials are wrong.
As Bob D. has pointed out to me before, not Xtreme, but Extreme, if you want to accurately parodize the spec.

Subject: [xml-dev] Xml is _not_ selfdescribing
Hello all
I think that it is fair to conclude now, that XML is _not_ any more selfdescribing than e.g. CSV files.
Sometimes I see that we move very close to becoming guilty of "Xtreme Marketing Language (XML)".
