People unable to master the management of
abstractions should not manage XML programming
projects. People who can't learn them shouldn't
program. The reason XML scales is because
the OOPisms and relationalisms are not there.
XML conforms to the environment and only
weakly feeds back into evolution of the
environment. Weak feedback is loose coupling
and that is very powerful because scaling
amplifies the effect of weak signals. This
is where the Simple Is Better guys get it right.
But the outcome is, XML Doesn't Care, so
programmers have to. Don't scream into
megawattage.

"The big thing we had to deal with [at Microsoft] was learning and
embracing XML," Lucovsky said. "XML is more difficult than people
think."
