I think this would be a mistake. While it certainly would be better than=20
editing binary data, we still leave the human responsible for maintaining=
=20
structure. That's the biggest pain with XML. Note: I think editing XML=20
isn't bad. However if we have a "tool" to do it, I expect it to balance=20
openings and closings for me, and to help me out. Like when I add=20
something to a dictionary, I want it to help me with the key and the=20
value.

Take care,

Bill
