Then you have not thought about it. SLF has many limiting factors. FLAG
field size is one of them. Soon I will be adding ITX support and would like
it to go to fidonet@f0.n379.z1.fidonet.org so the flag would look like this:

ITX:fidonet@f0.n379.z1.fidonet.org

Two problems:

First the flag field limit has been exceeded.
Second, that would push my line length above 157 characters.

That is one simple VIABLE example that cannot be used in SLF. This would be
no problem in XML. I could easily go on and on about possible things that
will not work in SLF. How many examples do you need to prove that SLF is
very limiting for the future. Hell it doesn't meet our needs of TODAY!
