RE:  Six Reasons Not to use XML Attributes
Breaking or non-breaking?

Weirdly enough, the paper printing thing works but without the
shredders, turtles lose their jobs.  If you ever work in a SCIF, you'll
appreciate why they wear masks and carry ninja weapons.

True story:  I made the mistake of suggesting to Erik Naggum that LISP
wasn't the best way to get work done.  He replied by stuffing my email
inbox with a few thousand pages of LISP documentation.  My IT guy was
not amused.

Bulk is bulky.

I suggest using Whitespace for both the serialization format and all XML
toolchains.
Then we'd literally be wearing the Kings New Clothes.

You really can't get much simpler than that.

And think of the security ! printed out on paper the bad guys could
never read our code OR our data ! no need for shredders, obscufication ,
encryption ... so many things would be solved.
