Subject: OT: XML too hard (YAML opportunity?)

On /. today there is a discussion about a weblog entry by an XML 
co-creator about how XML is 'irritating, time-consuming, and error-prone'.

Seems to me that the Ruby community has adopted YAML (http://www.yaml.org) 
more quickly than many other programming communities, which is why I'm 
posting this here (I suppose it's because we tend to be early adopters, 
but that's a tangent).  It also seems to me that YAML solves a 
lot of these XML problems.  Anyway, this seems like a good opportunity for 
YAML.
