Seriously, I know an equivalent S-expression system wouldn't have been accepted, but it's nonetheless an over-complicated nothingburger to us Lispers.
More seriously, XML is a micro level thing, it says nothing about his high macro level political and systems development knowledge (proven to be sorely lacking as I demonstrate), goodwill (ditto), or expertise (seems to be sorely lacking, but that could be politics interfering).
To make one point perhaps more clear, he's talking about a inextricably political thing and can't help but to totally denigrate the other side on false grounds. Doesn't even have the self-discipline to hide it. So he impeaches his comments, showing he's not to be taken any more seriously than any random Joe programmer on the street. Or rather, even less seriously.

This is Tim "XML" Bray. So, yeah.
XML???
I rest my case ^_^!
