I would never willingly use XXX in code, for one simple reason: it's an abbreviation for pornography. All other arguments against it (and I think they're good arguments) would be dwarfed by the brief but squicky feeling I've gotten whenever I've encountered one of these tags in a codebase. I don't have any particular issue against other sequences of X's run together, but that particular one is off-limits as far as I'm concerned.
