It's very scriptable because it's just a text document delimited with <tags> (similar to HTML). This means that Applescript can be used to create the text document. Simply iterate through a buffer of data, adding the necessary tags. This is the advantage of an XML (and SOAP) based documents in any scripting language.

You said "...but as it's documents are xml, I'd call it *very* scriptable."

I've been AppleScripting for a while now, but I know nothing about XML or its significance. How does XML based documents lead to "Scriptability" for Keynote?

I guess I just don't get this XML thing. What gives?
