Sure, but didn't YAML in Rails do mostly the same type of thing? It's not just XML that is dumb like this.

YAML and XML seem too powerful and too complex for their own common use cases (data storage). Markdown too - how many Markdown parsers allow for strict parsing against an HTML whitelist, and don't allow native HTML at all by default?

I've never even thought of that. Wow. Obvious now of course.
