XML makes baby Jesus cry
Well, yes, that too. I can't see a convincing reason why the data in question here should ever have been represented in XML. I've got no serious problem with XML when it's being used as a markup language – it's no worse than HTML and easier to write third-party data-mining scripts for – but using it as a general framework in which to represent hierarchical data and (worse still) procedural programs is Just Wrong. |
