XML is verbose, surprisingly complex, and first and foremost not designed to be written and consumed by humans. There's plenty of room for debate, e.g. element versus attribute and things get unwieldy pretty quickly [1] The "note"-example illustrates the issue quite well: the order of the elements matters and you end up writing every element identifier twice. Not to mention the bloat that comes with using an XML library that's actually compliant with the standard and includes all the bells 'n whistles.
