XML should only be tagged as partially human-readable, the simpler XML files, basic XML files can be, but onces xmlns and xsd come into play, it quickly becomes not human-readable. Another factor is that it's not always possible to properly reformat/indent XML for readability without affecting content.

===Quite Human Readable!===
Concerning the "not human-readable" implements mentioned above, XML namespace specification attributes ("xmlns") and XML schema definitions (XSDs) are text just like XML, and perfectly human-readable. And you absolutely can reformat/indent XML w/out affecting content; that/explicit value delimitation via tag/attrib is the whole point/benefit over whitespace-delimited encoders like YAML (1 detriment of which '''is''' the negative effect of improper/varied indentation). <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/192.91.171.42|192.91.171.42]] ([[User talk:192.91.171.42#top|talk]]) 17:11, 17 January 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
