Not really true, XML is very well readable by humans, and in exammple
XML can be used for configuration files where they are hand
written. Or take docbook as example, well it's not XML but SGML but
for the concerns here it does not matter, the SGML files are is
intended to be written by hand.


I agree with you that some auto-generated xml files are not readable,
because they follow notintend. Though proper written xml files can
even be very clear to read.
