Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/API Future/ '*': 'text' → 'text'/reply (8)

I agree with brion that we should kill the current XML format. If we have to keep some sort of XML, make it something that doesn't need the rest of the API to do special things just for it.

I still think it would be better to use logical names such as 'text' or 'content' rather than some symbol, but '_' is better than '*'.
