.specs can be done in XML, the support has been there for a
long time - 
not sure if anyone has ever actually written a spec in XML (
I for one, 
hate XML and avoid it whenever possible ). But should
someone want to, 
use an XML editor and spec away!

Does FE have a policy on XML specs ?

I've often heard about xml specfiles, but have never seen
one. Have
you seen any such example on the net? I don't really like
how xml
obfuscates the flow of reading something, but I'm interested
in seeing
what it looks like.
