Apparently some people advocate something called YAML, which looks 
utterly horribly to me.

Some other people advocate JSON. (I have no idea what that does with 
text encodings.)

One of the more irritating things about XML is that it doesn't support 
character entities by name. You cannot write, say, … and get a 
horizontal ellipsis. You have to write … instead.
