Well, XML is not a not a command structure but a hierarchical syntax for 
documents, with XML Schema being one of multiple choices of overlaying it with 
rules. Anyway, for my taste tying the logic of a high level protocol that 
tightly to its transport representation is a design weakness, more abstraction 
would be a boon. But it is wasted time to argue -- it is nothing new that we 
have diametric opinions on certain topics...
