XML != nice. HTML does the job fine.
Depends what you're doing. HTML is wonderful as the final dressing before it hits the user's web browser, but sucks for anything other than that. Being obsessive linux hackers, I'd expect us to massively overengineer a solution using XML and a publishing engine (AxKit if we're using Apache/Perl, Cocoon if we're using Java?) so that we can access the site using our browsers, phones, PDAs, sonic screwdrivers, divining rods...
ESR said that you can't call your self a hacker till other hackers call you one, based on the above can I call my self a Hacker yet?
So this would be what owen was saying about PHP on sunday about content and markup being mixed together, Whilst I can see some of these evils, doesn't CSS attempt to help?
Thanks
