I think the "problem" with XML is that, while it may be human readable (just),
it's not human editable without some tool. And I think it's totally over the
top in terms of being verbose. This verbosity almost guarantees that no-one
will make any sense out of it without an editor.

Okay, in itself, this may not be a serious criticism, but I'd like a standard
that is simple for a human to read and edit. And I think that it's possible
without "resorting" to XML.
