I do. That's why I have a browser render it to a format that makes sense for human consumption.
Granted, html actually makes sense in the xml-ish (I don't remember if it's technically compliant), since it weaves formatting into semantically uninterrupted text.
If that's not the case, I don't see a real benefit to use XML over anything sane (not yaml... Binary formats depending on use case)
Yes. A sane schema that actually encapsulates the data would be a lot easier to read.
Earlier I had only seen the mix of values in body and values in tags. With one even being a tag called "value".
Thanks for showing more examples of XML being used to write unreadable messes.
you must find reading HTML a slog.
