If that was the received message I apologise. Not intended.
I've praised what I previously perceived to be Fred's material in
the past and consider it an excellent suite of documentation.
I still stand by that, otherwise I wouldn't have posted at all.

If that had been 'in XML' instead of 'on XML' I'd have asked why you
can't figure it out. Martin mentioned fashion, it is fashionable. Its
also flexible and has a full toolsuite. It simply appeared as a natural
for a job such as the python docsuite.
If my comments are being taken as insulting I really will shut up.
