> as readable as tar.gz is. with the correct reader, tar.gz is easier to read than XML. Although the hate for XML is not really justified, it's a way to serialise trees (all other things people do with it are an abomination), and kind of works as long as you don't have to touch it with your hands. Having a working XML parser lib makes it a lot less dirty (not XML itself of course, but it kind of works like a mudflap preventing the mud from squishing all over your face.) > > You must patent it.
