XML too hard? It's just LISP, isn't it? Except with more typing.

XML:
    <REALLYLONGNAME><ANOTHERLONGNAME>foo</ANOTHERLONGNAME></REALLYLONG
+NAME>

Lisp:
    (REALLYLONGNAME (ANOTHERLONGNAME (foo)))

Programmers grokked LISP 50 years ago. If XML is too hard, it says more about the quality of the programmers than of XML.
