Therefore, they are far less concerned about the formatting of the XML than other blog engines who obviously expect people to read their XML so go through the trouble of pretty printing it. Sweet – you and Microsoft agree on something… 😉

For the record, I love XML. But I don’t think that humans should be reading it. The better it’s working, the further behind the tools it should disappear.

But I find it necessary in lots of cases, and xmllint looks handy when that happens. Thanks!

Off topic: Are you planning to use your door prize for the Kalamazoo UML Applied class on June 16? There’s plenty of room left, but I need to start planning meals and handouts and stuff.
