Sometimes we travel the roads of hell, simply because we know them so well.

I don't. I live the middleware-nightmare. First it was HTML. Then it was VRML. Now it's lazy XML applications. And somewhere inbetween it was Perl. Made me a fan of draconian parsers. Makes better specs, and in the end, easier authoring. It's hard to learn from history when it is processed through friendly parsers.
