I only obliquely care, but out of curiousity, what is your reasoning here?  Is 
there some genteel drawing-room shibboleth I've missed?  I'd like to know 
because I collect such curiousities.

Maybe, but not necessarily understood.  I gave up about 75% of the way through 
your paragraphs to this point.  The one statement I understand clearly: that 
programmers make the worst of the markup, is interesting, but surprising to me 
as I hardly thought programmers wrote enough markup for judgment.  I'm always 
amazed at how many XML programming projects are driven by precious little 
motivating content.  I guess XML is just, well, fun?
