Let's put it this way - if we use Smalltalk instead of XML, then we can 
program stuff and extend it easily. If we use XML, then we end up with 
something like Ant.. when we could have just used Smalltalk. Using 
Smalltalk fulfills two requirements - a file out format that describes 
declarative code structures - and a disk format for writing smalltalk 
programs that doesn't involve weird !'s or xml tags/namespaces.

Just another 2c.. almost up to 5c now.
