I can't actually get the point (other than it was "O, Lout's great, you
see: it's XMLish!!"). I think I could say "Latin1 -> Latin1 -> Latin1", but
this doesn't help me so much in translating French to German to English.
Other than I haven't to learn a new alphabet, that's great I agree, but
then I'm still facing the same translation problem.

If I don't understand Russian, I wouldn't still understand it were it
written in Latin alphabet.

Similarly, I can't understand why having all those "angle brackets" hanging
over all the time could sensibly relieve my pain in document production.

Ciao.
