The DPH - that's great. Went googling and found an interesting book
` propos:
One of the original goals of XML was that it be simple
enough that a "Desperate Perl Hacker" (DPH) be able to
write an XML parser. The exact interpretation of this
requirement varied from person to person. At one extreme,
the DPH was assumed to be a web designer accustomed to
writing CGI scripts without any formal training in
programming, who was going to hack it together in a
weekend. At the other extreme, the DPH was assumed to
be Larry Wall and he was allowed two months for the task.
The middle ground was a smart grad student with a couple
of weeks.
