I also read the discussions linked on your page. The pro-XML syntax arguments seem to be:
* entites as cool including mechanisms -- like there is at least one scripting technology that doesn't allow simple includes!
* you get for free the existing XML encodings mechanisms -- fair enough
* you can transform stylesheets themselves -- I'll appreciate that when I'll need it ;)
* in XSLT you can have lots of unstructured text, unlike, say, servlets where you have to quote them. What about Perl-like qq{} ?
* the most interesting point that I didn't understand: without XML syntax you can't describe treelike structure because you don't have tags ?? I picked this argument here: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200210/msg00411.html
