It's beautiful! Also it shows the power of publishing documentation in an easily-parsable format.

  People love to hate on XML, but personally I think this kind of strictly typed structural information is where it excels even today

    I can definitely see the point in choosing XML for the Wayland protocols for the reasons you've mentioned (e.g.: strictly typed information) because one of their purposes is to be able to easily generate bindings and libraries from them. However, that still doesn't make them a good format for human consumption as in reading them as a reference. That was the main motivation for creating this website.

      To clarify I think the site is great, is was simply commenting that the choice of XML was good exactly because it enables things like the site and binding generation.
