Right, the big bonus I see with REBOL is that your data format can be
much easier for people to work with--and no more difficult for
machines--than XML.
Behind the scenes, we can generate whatever we want, but from an
interaction perspective, what is the best solution or the most natural
way to work with this kind of information? That's where I'm
coming from. For example, how would a dialected REBOL solution compare
to a GUI built with Java that generates the XSL, and eventually
produces an XML file which is then repurposed?
