No.  These are for C programmers, and you should not have to program C to

put a similar Pytonish tool in your pocket, one of these days!

If you feel comfortable and happy with XML, then XML is quite OK.
As long as you resist turning into an XML frantic fanatic, you know,
those recognisable by the foam at the mouth, you're safe! :-)
