Via Langreiter.com, XML sucks, but you have to use it anyway. I don't think XML is quite as bad as this guy does (read some of the other stuff on xmlsucks.org), but the presentation is definitely worth a read, and has some insightful comments.
Part of the point of XML is that eventually, we'll have so many useful tools built around it that it'll just become infrastructure. We're still relatively early in the "XML age" - the spec's not all that old, and complementary specs are still working out the kinks.
