It appears to me that most of the attributes that would have been specified as parameters in the code, are now hung off a scaffold of XML tags. Now the XML must be perfect and the code must be perfect, or the desired results will not be achieved. I like XML but I don't know whether to like this example or not. It seems to me debugging will be harder now because you must second guess the parser as well as the code. I have an open mind. Let me guess, if I give it six months, I'll love it.
