I wouldn't call markup coding. It's designing, and ideally it's WYSIWYG,  
but properly done it's completely separate from code. A markup UI language  
should exist completely on top of the langauge. The best case scenario is  
where the markup language can be translated down to any other language  
supported by the UI framework by a compiler switch.
