Larry Cable once apologised to me for 2 things in Java, while he was still at
Sun: applets & Java serialisation.  He felt then that XML was a far better
solution than Java serialisation.  Not that I've kept up with how Java
serialisation has moved on since then (2000), but I wonder if it has really
improved enough, particularly the fact that deserialisation was slower than
parsing the equivalent XML.
