David asks “Which of these is easier to read?”
- He says it’s a slam dunk, XML is the least easy to read
- Not for me, not if “read” means:
- count: how many names?
- extract the second name
- find anything, anything at all
- proof the list to see if it is formatted correctly
- reliably tell curly braces from parentheses in all fonts
“Read” seems to mean read aloud as in newspaper,
but not to mean understand or use
