 >I'll take a wild guess and say that 99% of all XML documents are 
exclusively processed by machines. Is that a reasonable estimate?

Seems a gross underestimate to me. I'd say 99.99999%. There are zillions 
of things flying around the ether in XML form, like status reports from 
networking routers, that are never seen by any human being.

 >That's not at all my experience.

With respect, you're a human, so you see a biased sample. The experience 
of a machine might be different.
