I think the ML is very valuable. Though it could use some reviews before it
became part of a rebol standard library.
For example, I think that it can be more flexible by not requiring a
compose. I suspect there are other additions which could give it more "bang
for buck" too. I think VID is a good reference for the purpose of judging
power and flexibility for effort. All that said I think the ML type
structures have a good use for expressing a special type of tree and could
be used for more than just markup - and at some stage should have a home in
a standard library.

I love the analogy with the boat and radar. Very amusing :^)
Sidenote: there's a broken link to "what is mysql" .
