I think markup's a completely different kind of toolset, with virtues you don't appear to value. Markup is capable of reaching people who'll never need or want to go anywhere near a stack trace. It's built that way explicitly, at a pretty high cost. Throwing away those features while working with XML seems perverse at best. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
