I think you are missing my point. I have no problem with allowing a more
compact XML using attributes instead of elements. But the minute you
allow the parser to be pluggable you allow folks to start inventing
their own POM syntax. I would find that situation completely
unacceptable. I don't care if the parser is Java, Ruby or whatever. I do
care that Maven controls the schema associated with all variations of
the POM.

That said I don't think anything language specific a la ruby or groovy
has any place in Maven proper. Lots of room for side projects that use
the embedder and whatever other magic they like. I think a less
verbose form of XML would be universally appreciated.
