    The Human Side of XML

    Elliotte Rusty Harold says, "You can certainly develop an obfuscated syntax in XML, a syntax that is hard to read -- just as you can in other languages. ... But I think in general with sufficient effort and care and thought, you can design XML formats that are plausible to read and plausible to understand."
