XML as fall guy
Apparently systems that take XML seriously are "too unfamiliar".

To be honest, of course, in any kind of visible failure, the piece that's least similar to the rest will get attacked extra.

"Another sore point was the Medicare agency’s decision to use database software, from a company called MarkLogic, that managed the data differently from systems by companies like IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. CGI officials argued that it would slow work because it was too unfamiliar. Government officials disagreed, and its configuration remains a serious problem."
