That's a silly question, as close human contact with the source code
varies with applications. Close encounters with XHTML are more common
than close encounters with Atom or XMPP, for instance. I myself use
XML as quick and dirty serialization format for debugging purposes;
that's not authoring by hand, but I have to read it without any tool
assistance and the requirements are similar.
