Some unexpected issues are not solved for past 20 years. I do not attack annotations or XML per se. The general approach "neither thing is precisely OK, so let's use both" seems questionable to me. I believe, XML is complex enough, so why do we need XXML? Finally, by using annotations they recognize that XML nesting is a pain in the ass, but they did not solve the problem, just sort of relieved it. Actually, I doubt a lot, whether XML is actually carrying some useful load in the Wave. But the last one is just a feeling.
