I am still completely unable to see why anyone thinks this is an advantage. 
Yes, I know that practically everyone /does/ think that, but it baffles me.

Why have two code artifacts instead of one, when they are necessarily 
intimately connected ?

Why use two languages instead of one ?  It's not as if *ML is any /clearer/ 
than most languages.  It may be that Java specifically -- with it's weak 
ability to create DSLs within it -- is something of an exception.  But even in 
that case the solution isn't to shoehorn in one of the least expressive 
"notations" every seriously devised !
