Comment on SEC wants python code for simulations of financial instruments. See; Accelerando

The SEC should have gone with JSON or YAML rather than XML though, as long as we're trying to keep things readable.

Otherwise I applaud this requirement for filing.

I would love to run to track the history of all submissions over time and see which are the most accurate performers.

XML has the advantage that validation is part of the DNA of the data, while JSON is useful the world of JSON validation is not mature by any stretch.
