I think you misunderstood the nature of the extension. The xml syntax was used as an example sublanguage to show how to mix sublanguages inside a loop. If you don't need a particular sublanguage then don't import it.

The sublanguage concept is supposed to be completely generic and has no xml like syntax support at all. That is for a hypothetical xml sublanguage to support.

If you don't like that particular sublanguge, then do not import it. But anybody that has generated xml in java code knows that a shorthand notation could be nice. I don't see it could bother you that a certain sublanguage exists.

You may argue that my proposed syntax using the @ is ugly though.
