I don't think anyone here is proposing a free-for-all. But an
attribute-based POM seems to be something that's popular so we can
pursue it. There will never be any scripting in the POM and never any
general XSLT swizzling. That would be a complete disaster.
big thumbs up for views like dependency:tree etc that make the pom
human
readable... which i think is most of the problem...
