I disagree strongly. Many of the useful coding tools need line oriented
Ascii text; where is diff or grep for my ZClass code. The XML export
form would do except that the differences caused by ordering/numbering
mean that diff reports many irrelevant differences. Zope loses by not
having a decent external storage mechanism for its programming.
