It’s almost as if Americans have realized that speech, like all other actions, has consequences.

Aaaaaand now we’re back to XML, but with less readable syntax and implementation consistency. Sounds like a win for everyone.

In the spirit of 2020, maybe making the problem worse will ultimately make it better?

It’s going to take a lot more detail than that to convince me to let this anywhere near infrastructure I care about. Care to elaborate for the skeptics reading this? Investment Sec…
