I've never understood the reasoning behind using a textual serialization format that's not human readable.

If you don't want it to be readable, make the darn thing binary and go for efficiency.

There's a difference between prioritizing readability and simply being readable.

Please explain the trade off, I can't see myself debugging an unindented XML file without an appropriate reader. Exactly like a binary file.
