This is not the only standard for defining textual data, and some people think
that XML is too verbose. Given that the PDF generation capability has been lost,
what are the benefits over some wiki markup? IMHO, the LeafOS wiki syntax was
better suited for the task, because there was no chance to make an error (there
is no such thing as "invalid Wiki markup", but there is "invalid XML").
About the editor: it does show line numbers for errors, but it doesn't number
lines. Inconvenient for large pages.
