The XML spec doesn't constrain software that makes no claim of conformance
to it, so that objection is merely technical. If XML has an advantage,
it's that it's simple and precise. On the other hand, it is neither
concise nor forgiving; for that, browsers have HTML. What's the point
of blurring the line?
