I was reading TeXML: an XML vocabulary for TeX and I had a flashback to Cameron’s blogs from last month:
XML Processing got too expensive
I don’t know about you, but I think:
<cmd name=”documentclass”>
<opt>12pt</opt>
<parm>letter</parm>
</cmd>
looks a lot more verbose than the “raw” TeX:
\documentclass[12pt]{letter}
Maybe it is just me.
