Except that it doesn't look like they even *thought* about ASN.1. They
just thought about how they were abusing XML.
Well, that and that it's a markup language. But repeating the IDL in
every record doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Yes and no. That's true if everything is just internal to your own
program. However, once you start dumping data into a generalized
persistent store (eg. BigTable), that's could be the difference between
terabytes of dead data and data that's useful because nobody can
remember what program stuffed all that data there.
