this afternoon gave rise to some surfing, not only on the web but within
the 'Add/programs' application under Ubuntu 9 and came across AnyMeal.
Looking at the FAQ
<http://www.wedesoft.demon.co.uk/anymeal-api/faq.html> one finds this entry:
Doesn't XML slow down your program?
Sure. However it increases the development speed considerably. A
user will tolerate an application, which is a bit slower. It is
less likely, that a user will be happy to wait for a feature a
couple of months more. <snip>
<snip> If you do a comparison, you'll note, that *AnyMeal* still
is faster than most other applications.
I simply found it interesting - that's all.

ps - and I needed to test my email client...
