Yeah, that's cool and all, but I avoided using XML with attributes because attributes can't / don't nest.

{ name: 'joe', dob: { m: 1, d: 2, y: 1934 } }

<user name='joe' dob='...???...'>

<user><name>joe</name><dob><m>1</m><d>2</d><y>1934</y></dob></user>

I actually wasn't trying to make the "XML is bigger" joke because that isn't what's important to me. Structurally XML is harder to use.
