This brings the question, which I hope is NOT off topic here. Why is
the situatoion on the job market so skewed? I personally find TeX
markup much more "natural" and easy than XML -- why do most people
think otherwise? Is there a "silver bullet" in XML markup that helps
thousands people understand it?
