Because XML is a dirty, dirty format.=20

There's truth, perhaps more than a bit, in this humor:

"XML is like violence. Sure, it seems like a quick and easy solution at fir=
st, but then it spirals out of control into utter chaos." -- Sarkos in redd=
it

"XML combines the efficiency of text files with the readability of binary f=
iles" -- unknown


And less humorous:
"Transformations, even identity transforms, result in changes to format (wh=
itespace, attribute ordering, attribute quoting, whitespace around attribut=
es, newlines). These problems can make "diff"ing the XML source very diffic=
ult." -- http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?XmlSucks
