James seems to think this is witty. What disturbs me is that Sriram is anal enough to think that people should be writing HTML or XML in the first place. Bleh, what a dumb idea. Lots of little tags.. that's insane.
Most sane people just don't do that sort of thing any more. They make their webpages using some WYSIWYG program, like Macromedia's Contribute or heck, even Frontpage. As much as I don't like this programs, I'd recommend them over somebody sitting down in notepad and writing out tags.
So I have to wonder when Sriram talks about "Missing one tag meant that hundreds of feeds couldn't be imported." .. is he saying that some moron sat there and write out hundreds of tags by hand? Christ! What drugs was that guy on?
XML is not for people, it's for computers. XML IS NOT HUMAN READABLE
