Poor design choices haven't stopped it yet.    :)

...and yes, there *have* been at least a few poor design choices.

I say if someone has the ability to write an XML based POV, more power
to them. It would be nice to actually have such a program to test,
instead of just speculating about it. You won't often find me
discouraging experimentation with new ideas. It's often the more
unusual ideas that end up being the most enlightening. Even if an idea
never makes it into mainstream use, there is often still be a place
for it, or it might lead to bigger and better things, as yet
unforseen.
