Me in the ##c++ IRC channel:

<PovAddict> quotemstr: this is what the original looks like: 
http://codepad.org/bpZ6wWJq
<quotemstr> PovAddict: Ew.
<Kermos> PovAddict: WTF is that?
<PovAddict> Kermos: writing some XML :)
<PovAddict> now have the guts to say *my* code was stupid :P
<Kermos> ....
<quotemstr> There are degrees of stupid.
<Kermos> quotemstr: I think that one is off the scale
<JordiGH> PovAddict: Lord have mercy should you forget one line or miscount.

Their "WTF??" was mostly about the C++ code, not the XML being generated, 
but I think the same reaction would apply to that.
