That's easy: Because the existing documents are written in XML.

For data, I tend to agree.  This is about text with markup.  Which
would you prefer?

  This is <b>bold</b> text.

Or:

  ["This is ", {"face": "bold", "body": ["bold"]}, " text."]

?

Eventually, I might migrate things to something like Markdown (however
Markdown itself is unlikely because its escaping rules are utterly
bizarre).
