The section on XAML does not mention Microsoft at all and does not quite fit in with the style of the rest of the article. May I suggest NPOV cleanup?

==no criticism section?==

The markup-based UI, even after many years of evolution, in terms of REAL application development, remains an unqualified disaster compared to options available to thick client developers. The markup-script-based UI requires FAR more effort to implement, are less reliable, look worse, and delivers less functionality than any thick client UI.

And on the contrary - markup languages do not prevent "reinvention of the wheel" at all in practice - they encourage cut and paste.

The whole idea of markup as UI is flawed because its predicated on the HTML / JavaScript spec already covering everything a UI needs to be, at a very high level - and that's just never going to happen. Yes there is a demand for a high-level way of expressing a user interface, but any silly markup-script UI should be compiled into a lower level file by the designer. Browsers should receive something entirely different.

Just my $.02.

Where are GTK+'s [[GladeXML]], wxWidgets' [[XRC]], [[Rapicorn]]? Not only they are based on XML, but have exactly this purpose. Also Opera Widgets? --[[Special:Contributions/91.213.255.7|91.213.255.7]] ([[User talk:91.213.255.7|talk]]) 01:49, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

== This entire page should be remade ==

The list of languages and their description should be on the list page. We should have benefits and criticism sections, maybe a history section.
