"As much...as is reasonable"...But "reasonable" is in the eye of the beholder. How many mathematicians are willing to do real math in MathML? Have you ever run into a serious program-writing interface that shielded the programmer from the syntax of the language? I'm not *that* optimistic about XML's universality. Granted, probably most any programming *can* be expressed as an XML document, but should it? (Can you imagine creating a program-writing tool that kept your structured C++ code as XML?)
