sure, libxml2 is huge, but almost everybody will have it in memory
anyway, since it's used by other programs.
imho, xml *is* very human-readable if the DTD is sane and the output
is pretty-printed. and it's already defined, all the tools are in
place, and changing the DTD is a matter of writing a simple XSLT for
the users to convert their old versions.
so ++xml.
