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 :-)
