It's hideously verbose; it doesn't actually provide a representation
of the data (it only provides structure); it has awkward corners that
end up poorly tested; as it's a textual format it's subject to all the
usual problems around character sets; the context encourages the use of
forgiving parsers for the actual textual data representation, which leads
to incompatibility; and it's a bad design in the first place because it
tries to tackle too many classes of job.
