Even if we could avoid it at a technical level, it means that what we're reading is no longer XML. One of the desires with ZCML was to not invent everything from scratch. So, *if* we're using XML, we need to use it as defined, otherwise it *isn't* XML. We're shying away from what's invented here in favor of what's been developed in a broader community. An alternate syntax could of course do things differently, but introducing an alternate syntax just means there's more than one way to do it. That's usually a bad idea. Philipp's proposal cuts more to the heart of the problems with ZCML, and they aren't syntax-specific. -Fred -- Fred L.
