BOO! 

Programmers are developers.  So are the SMEs who can 
develop markup without implementing markup systems. 
Statements that XML is for programmers are not only 
wrong, they contravene the most important function 
of markup systems:  to keep the authors working and 
to use the programmers sparingly.  SMEs are the semantic 
experts.  The programmers work for them; not the other 
way around.

And as you say, they may have other things to do.

A few STRONGLY VOICED "markup wonks", a majority does not make. The
truth is, not as many "programmers" have the leisure to participate here
(although MANY lurk) because they're too busy building programs for you
guys. ;-)
