Maybe something like :

 

A beginner's question.

He of little experience speaks passionately.

The expert smiles.

My favorite answer is still Michael Kay's from almost four years ago (http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200006/msg00285.html -- if he could have cut a few syllables, it would have been a great haiku):

 

  Beginners always ask this question.
  Those with a little experience express their opinions passionately.
  Experts tell you there is no right answer.
