I agree, seriously. Call it what it the degree actually contains. Not doing so will give the impression that the degree is literally BS, the same trick that some people pull with their jobtitles to try and inflate their own importance.
Just plain Physics, Botany, and Computer Programming is fine IMHO. It sounds totally cool, a mixture of universal workings, organics and technology, why go for more?
I've found it's in retrieving XML documents from the database. It's easy to parse a document and write it to relational tables but it can be, with complicated documents, a real pain to write XML taking the data from a realtional database. It's also more coding work too.
