One of my pet hates. The phrase "When you solve a problem with XML you
now have two problems" springs to mind...
"XML is overused.
I'm not sure why. I suspect it is because that XML is standardized and
because of the prevalent attitude that all things with a W3C standard
are good.
However, there are many times XML is selected to represent data or
(worse) behavior where that selection is a poor decision. The best
examples of this mistake are programming languages that are XML: Ant,
NAnt, XSLT, and VoiceXML, for a few."
