Oh my, that puts the shoe on the other foot does it not? Did you notice the bit I highlighted? Here it is again : XML driven compilers.
But what does that have to do with the language you posted? It wasn't XML driven.
Maybe if you stopped lying, people would actually pay attention to your system.
It's not like it needs to be XML driven. In fact, being XML driven can actually be a negative. You apparently think it's a negative since you didn't stick to XML. So why not promote that fact instead of actively denying it? (e.g. You could say you are using different braces in lieu of different namespaces because it saves typing. Or whatever the reason is.)
