I'm not sure I exactly agree with all this, but..

One cool thing about XML is that I have the 1.0 spec here
on my desk, and it's something like 60-70 pages, plus 2
pages of errata.

There is something to be said for simplicity.  SGML
minimization, for example, is a feature I don't miss.

But the *best* thing about XML is the W3C.  I like the
directions they're taking XML, and I'm pleased that
it's taking place relatively quickly.
