The primary reason for having a SIDL backend is to provide a mechanism for
generating human-readable text for interfaces that are written in conformant
XML. It is important to emphasize that Babel requires the XML to conform to
the SIDL DTD in order to benefit from this feature.
Generating SIDL provides a feature to collaborators who are interested in
experimenting with the XML form of the interfaces. Such groups should find
the more human-readable descriptions of the interfaces to be helpful for
distribution and discussion.
