Quite. XML does have a somewhat fascist disregard for embedded devices and
lightweight applications. It amuses me when people refer to SOAP or XML-RPC
as "lightweight RPC protocols" when they're orders of magnitude more
heavyweight than ONC RPC.
At some point I'll shove all this stuff on a Web page and post the URL when
this comes up - the pro-verbose faction can point to the XML Deviant article
from last time :-)
