OK but can we avoid polarization and use "markup (language
definition)" instead of XML here? I share and understand well
everyone's concerns about XML here and think it won't help mutual
understanding of what you point out if we keep the unfortunate example
Florian did. True that his suggestion is interesting.

FTR I think YAML is a very interesting tree structured markup language
very easy to read for humans and parse for machines.
