In 2018, the U.S. Navy released an administrative message, NAVADMIN 315/18, which laid out a plan to help the Navy migrate its IT footprint (on land and at sea) to cloud technologies and methodologies. The Navy inserted a separate mandate in this message, called out as its first of Four Key Pillars: Standardize all data onto XML. And not only "standardize on XML", but do that as a way of enforcing adoption of a format called EXI.1. Even had this been released in 2003, it would have been a bad idea. But it was 2018, "the cloud" was the reason to do this all, and we had learned a great deal since 2003 about why XML wasn't the right foundational technology for all data storage and interchange. So I wrote a paper saying that this was a bad idea. This repository contains the paper, placed here so that Github could publish it and keep it current.
