Well, I'm waiting for Reed to weigh in, but at this point I'm still leaning towards XML for most of the reasons that Neil stated in his email (mainstream standard, can be validated, editor/tool support etc). I should point out here that the proposed XML and alternate language are basically structurally identical, the difference is merely the specifics of syntax, so there's no reason we couldn't eventually have both and even be able to cleanly convert between them.
For the time being, however, the practical reasons for using XML override the aesthetic reasons of going with an alternative. Worse is better...
