Hard to disagree with, but...

In my experience it's a serious source of interoperability problems when 
people try to pretend that XML is a data model, not a syntax; they are 
(to quote you) "trying to mask the existence of XML altogether".  Your 
application and mine probably have profoundly different needs in the 
data-modeling department, XML lets us interoperate anyhow.  I've always 
thought that's where the big win was.  -Tim
