...and you're force to code more verbose: you'll have to quote
attributes, you'll loose some minimazation features and -- most
important -- the marked section feature is more or less gone.

For authoring purposes XML is a step backward.  To use so called XML
tools it's always possible to do an sgml2xml on the fly.
