that does illustrate one of the problems with XML, though: the gut
reaction, the emotional responses.
As William Gibson said in "Pattern Recognition", "Emotion makes us buy
things."
Emotion also makes us not buy things.
If there's enough emotion in the admin community against XML, even if
it's technically superior, we might as well not bother.
Besides, see Don Norman: often emotion is very smart, smarter than we
are.
