I can=E2=80=99t say I=E2=80=99ve run into the XML issue in a real =
environment, but IMO the big =E2=80=98problem=E2=80=99 is that they can =
be disabled, so they can=E2=80=99t be relied upon for anything being =
distributed outside your own direct control.

Also for the record, *I* don=E2=80=99t use Twig (The one thing no one =
can deny is php=E2=80=99s power as a markup templating language.. and =
then people don=E2=80=99t use it directly? Insanity.)
