Funny. That "dirty work" was the subject of a lot of talks at Balisage,
and the subject of a whole symposium the day before:
<http://balisage.net/XML-Interfaces/index.html>
I pointed out a lot of layers of failure and opportunity in my talk, but
there were many other more concrete conversations about user
interactions with marked-up data, from editors to XForms and more.
You may be trying hard to be disagreeable, but you're actually repeating
the point Roger made...
Maybe come to the show sometime? I know you can deliver potshots in person.
Thanks,
