We had a chat about the formats thing and realised that a good position might be to disallow any XML use that cannot easily be expressed in JSON.
Yes, I agree strongly with that.
This would allow JSON to be used - good news for "being very simple and clear"
Yes, and we'll be fighting for the "simple and clear" JSON to have the minimum depth of nested data structures wherever it seems to be getting too complex.
I also think that simple and clear JSON is also easy to convert to TXT, so this will give us all three formats easily, and with automatic conversions, which is where we should be.
