I think you are forgetting the point that XML was never designed to be
written or read by human users.
It is meant as a platform independent way to describe data, to be used
in different applications.
It is not meant to be written by hand in an editor, because if you try
that, you will soon despair (or are a true masochist :)

Thus, for all the people who are handcoding their POV-Scenes, XML is no
alternative to POV-Script. And will never be.
As a platform and application independent format to exchange 3D scene
descriptions maybe, but that is a different issue...

Johannes.
