It is as unreasonable as saying that Perl cannot be any good because you can't call a sub "die"

Actually, Perl does allow you to create a sub named die, and it provides a method of calling the real die if you override die.

A better example would be string literals. aXML is a like a Perl that's doesn't allow strings that contains «"» to be constructed. It is most definitely reasonable to be able to construct a string that contains «"». That's why Perl provides an escape character and the ability to change delimiters.

aXML does not have the equivalent of an escape character; it cannot distinguish code from data. That's really really really really really really bad.

Secondly, yes the parser as it works right now would require that you write a tag as <foo><bar>moo</bar></foo> or ...

uh, no, «<foo bar="moo"></foo>» is not equivalent to «<foo><bar>moo</bar></foo>». If aXML transforms one in tho the other, it's yet another major problem with aXML.
