Well, I do, actually. All the time, on XML and HTML.  Also on nroff
output.  Also source code.  Each has its irritants.  Each is useful.

I’m really getting tired of people saying “You can’t/shouldn’t X” when
X is well-known to work, and is widely used.

Which has happened over and over in this conversation.  Like I said,
clutching at straws.
