HTML has been around at least 15 years. I was hand coding web sites in 1993 for smal company I once owned. And SGML was well established long before HTML ever came to prominence. It was the precursor to HTML in many ways. As to the XML arguement I think that I can see both sides. It might be an elegant approach from some perspectives, but it adds a lot of overhead for very little advantage in most situations. It could be a terrible burden in many cases. The Askozia project is an Asterisk on FreeBSD distro that webs the m0n0wall GUI framework. Like m0n0wall it puts all the configs into a single XML file. So it would seem that some may go that route if they desire. As far as I can tell it has put a lot of burden on the project developer to put all kinds of functionality into the GUI as people really can't (at this point) create custom sections of dialplan or configs.
