IETF's job is to provide technical leadership, not to follow bad advice.
Instead of caving into them, what we need to do is publish a draft called
"Translating Everything into XML Considered Harmful".
Ah, yes. I seem to recall something similar for the use of HTTP -
perhaps the author of RFC 3205 would like to author this new document

In which case I'd be tempted to follow up with
"Inventing unnecessary new protocols, URI schemes and media types considered harmful as well - find a good balance, please"
:-)
