Today I wanted to manipulate some of the data stored in my Amazon wishlist. Thanks to this post by Kevin Donahue, it turned out to be easy.

Maybe because XML allowed him to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish?

I apologise for appearing an "arrogant shithead", but my intention was just to point to some more material relating to the subject of the post - other things you could do with the data. I'm afraid too much was read into "Why stop at XML?", it was intended as a throwaway remark. Certainly no criticism of Ted's approach was intended, if he solved the problem then obviously he must have done it right.
The "outside the box" comment was in response to Mark's dismissiveness.

"Arrogant Shithead" :), thanks for using the right word Danny.
Most Java programmers are arrogant shitheads, admitting who you are is really good for yourself. :)
