I think people make to much out of XML. It is what it is. Basically a file format for data. Yes, it is nice that it is somewhat self documenting. But, it's just a fancy text file. Sure it's usefull, but don't use it if you don't need it.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when you read in a Mag or Article about someone programming in XML. XML is not a language or IDE or compiler, you can't program in it!
