Then you probably don't (yet) have input in some form of industry standard XML
as a given, and you probably don't have to produce HTML and WML as well as 
paper. I agree that for just the coding of human writen documents for 
printing, Lout's {} is just as good as <>. There, said it. But, in the
context of work which lots of people have hanging over them, acceptance
of an alternative XML syntax, for just the people who want it, would get
us a lot of friends very quickly and there could be real benefits from them.
