I can’t say I’ve run into the XML issue in a real environment, but IMO the big ‘problem’ is
that they can be disabled, so they can’t be relied upon for anything being distributed outside
your own direct control.
Also for the record, *I* don’t use Twig (The one thing no one can deny is php’s power as a
markup templating language.. and then people don’t use it directly? Insanity.)
