Well said. I once had the displeasure of trying to write some code in XSLT (it had to fit in with existing XSLT code). It had to be the worst programming language I'd ever seen, with the possible exception of assembler. First, who decided that XML was a good format to write a programming language in? Punch cards would have been better. And second, trying to debug it was embarrassingly difficult.
