And the idea of using XML for procedural programming is pretty new, I think. At least I had never found another example of it. Maybe someone else knows of one though.
CFML (Cold Fusion) has been around since '96 (IIRC). It is a tag-based procedural language.
It suffered from its accessibility to non-programmers. I'm not a fan of obfuscation for obfuscation's sake, but CFMLs reputation was hurt by poorly implemented programs designed by amatuers.
dSVG could suffer the same fate, but I don't really know. I'm not an astrologer.
