In a nutshell your Wiki article contradicts its own definition and we read them differently. Further proof that I forgot to mention is this evidence provided by Microsoft- describing XAML <blockquote>Consistent presentation model by using XAML, the declarative presentation language used in Windows Vista–based applications.</blockquote> Hahaha - I emailed you back there with my response.

Consistent presentation model by using XAML, the declarative presentation language used in Windows Vista–based applications.

I understand you're looking at the MXML format and thinking "They're declaring things, it's declarative", but to be quite honest, there's little or no programming actually done in MXML tags.. the programming happens in blocks, and that falls under the Imperative umbrella. Silverlight already compiles into XAML, which is on the edge of Declarative family of languages, but when you compare XAML/XSL/MXML to actual declarative languages like Erlang and Lisp, it's easy to see the differences. ok, so, a few clarifications, as it seems you don’t have an entire grasp on the concepts:
