At one time there were people who whined one endlessly about the evils of
HTML email.
And before that there was a guy who used to drone on endlessly in comp.arch
about how high level languages were a mistake and how everything should be
written in machine code.
The technology world moves on. Either deal with it or open a museum.

IETF's job is to provide technical leadership, not to follow bad advice.
Instead of caving into them, what we need to do is publish a draft called
"Translating Everything into XML Considered Harmful".
Ah, yes. I seem to recall something similar for the use of HTTP -
perhaps the author of RFC 3205 would like to author this new document
too :-)

In which case I'd be tempted to follow up with
"Inventing unnecessary new protocols, URI schemes and media types
considered harmful as well - find a good balance, please"
:-)
