Empirically false, at two levels. First, lots of people process XML with perl (or equivalent) all the time. Second, the real requirement was to make it tractable to take a large body of document data and make quick programmatic changes on it. Which, obviously, XML makes way easier. -- Cheers, Tim Bray (ongoing fragmented essay: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/)
