Tim Bray says XML is too hard (for programmers)

Tim Bray co-wrote the spec for XML, so I'm inclined to listen when he has something to say about XML. In a recent post, he commented on using XML:

Oddly enough, the problem isn't in writing the XML processor, which isn't that hard, look at the number that are out there. The difficulty is in using one.

Interesting.
