It appears obvious to all of us that S-expressions are superior to XML. 
If so, I don't understand why the XML founders, with all their resumes,
Ivy league degrees and dot.com millions didn't have enough collective IQ
between them to invent a Unicodey Lispy dialect instead.

OTOH, it is possible XML is superior in some way that my common regular
brain can't see.  Maybe we just can't understand the brilliance of XML &
the joke's on us? :)
