Hi David,

Thanks for the tip earlier on xml-dev!

I'm not going to argue about the languages etc. The XML syntax is an 
advantage. XSLT can be manipulated using XML tools and
that is just wonderfull sometimes.

I guess one can build an XML vocabulary to port Perl (or any other
language, I've done it for ECMAScript) semantics in an XML syntax. But 
that would not be a standard now would it ;-)
