The "desperate perl hacker" was a significant and much-discussed use case during XML development, and was part of why we chose a self-evident empty element syntax. Use of regular expressions does not need to be evidence of stupidity, nor of poor training. I admit to using regular expressions to process XML at times myself, although I also suppose that since I haven't received a whole lot of introductory XML training I'm poorly trained in XML... Absence of carefulness is a problem, but that can be a problem with any tool.
