I voted for this because although I don't mind using XML, I don't like having a single file like pages.xml that grows linearly with the number of pages in my application. The alternative, which we currently use, are *.page.xml files, and there are several of those that only contain an action element. With these separate files, I still need to search my whole project for references to a particular view ID, which is one of the objections to the annotation style.
