> XML documents should be human-legible and reasonably clear. Yes, that's true, as stated in http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#sec-origin-goals http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#sec-origin-goals. Nevertheless, I stand by my point that human readability does not necessarily imply easy human comprehension. For that matter I believe that the working group introduces that design goal to ease problem tracking and not to imply that xml is suitable for human to human communication (which imho should be the main design goal of computer languages). I have great respect for your mental abilities but for me its difficult to understand larger ant scripts as xml is a data container and not a control flow language.
