The Easy Way To Work With XML.

The user needn't understand the DTD or XML Schema syntax.' A very interesting approach which may lead to a wider acceptence for XML."

And this would be useful for...?

Why in the world would you worry that your data was 'human-readable'? If you are relying on an schema to display your data in a nice format, perhaps you've missed the chapter about XSL.

Data is data. Presentation is presentation. Mixing them for no good reason is a waste of effort.

This seems like an odd thing to do...

XML already makes your data easier to read. By wrapping the data in XML markup (which is essentially metadata), you are putting it in a form that humans naturally read.

Humans are great information analyzers. If all the information is on a page, your brain sorts it out and makes you understand even if the information is in an unfamiliar order. In XML, by definition, all the information is there... Your brain gets it pretty easily.
