I don't think XOD needs a defense :-) XML has the merit of having
libraries for all languages and environments, so if I want to write an
exporter from something else to vos, I'd use XOD myself.

(Hmm.  Now there's a thought.  Maybe I should convert those map files to
XOD rather than reading them directly into vos...)

Some people can live with XML... I know I can.  But it's not very
intuitive.  Check in my source tree the side-by-side versions of the
same data in XOD and SOD and tell me what you think.

By the way, Emacs can usefully highlight SOD in conf-javaprop-mode :-)
I don't know what javaprop is, but it's seemingly similar enough.  Vim
probably has a mode for that too...
