There's nothing wrong with xml or other SGML based markups. They are meant to be written by a computer, not by hand.....

Maybe holds for XML, but not SGML. Its features such as SHORTREF and tag inference for eg parsing Wiki and other custom syntax into canonical angle-bracket markup (aka XML) are pretty much designed to be typed ergonomically and minimalistic, as popular as ever with markdown, etc.

XML is not an ideal format for computers.
