XML is great for documents too: <t>Some <b>text</b> is here </t> And I found some things weird, like entities and (external?) DTD references. But it's great for building your own formats. For data interchange it has it's problems, like no types. Everything is kind of a string. With encoding problems and XML in XML everything ends up in CDATA... I think that's why XML makes for heavy parsers. I remember it was better in Java, because of the strong libraries.
