When the ZCML syntax was initially proposed I complained about the
fact that it abused arguments and underused nested elements. At the
time it just felt wrong but months later I realized what the real
problem is: XML provides no way to comment out attributes, only
elements. If you want to temporarily disable a certain attribute you
must remove it entirely.

Or am I missing something?

Cheers,
