The trouble with the whole xml thing is that it's just another 
enterprisey BS to grind CPUs idle times.  You need an xml document, an 
xml document describing the structure of the previous document, yet 
another xml document to describe how to style the original document 
itens, perhaps a xml document describing how to transform your xml 
document into another xml document.  It's an insanely verbose and 
homogeneous pile of human and machine barely readable crap.

People resented it and thus insist on saner formats, such as CSS, JSON 
and real programming languages rather than a shitload of xml abstraction 
layers, tools and java frameworks.
