XML Ambivalence?
Technical communicators and instructional systems designers for e-learning courses find themselves working with XML at some point in their careers. Yet, a degree of ambivalence seems to waft through many conversations these professional have with each other.
An emotion-packed ambivalence. For example, I read a post like Jeff Attwood’s on his Coding Horror blog and wonder why XML discussions can be so charged with emotions, yet result in ambivalence. Visit Jeff’s post and the gazillion Comments below it:

I’d love to hear your “I mastered XML” success stories, so please leave a comment on my post.
Yes, I’m “Always Learning”, and native XML is another tool to add to my tool kit. A new project may depend on it!
