Re: the not-XML-instead-of-code thing. Eventually, this sort of thing turns into a programming language. It's just like carcinisation. Or you wind up writing ever-more code to support the original design. The environment inevitably creates evolutionary pressure that only if/else and iteration logic can solve, forcing the design ever closer to being Turing-complete.
