We should not think in terms of an XML database, an XML repository, converting to HTML on the way out, adding JSON-LD or RDF or OpenGroup markup on the way out. We shoud think of information, which is conveniently represented in XML documents, but those documents could also be HTML documents. What matters is that they are in some sort of controlled vocabulary - a schema, if you will - not the exact format, provided that the format does not cause us problems. When we think primarily in terms of formats, moving information between formats becomes an issue, a problem, a barrier. Thinking of XML as XML first is not the same as thinking of XML as one (particularly convenient) way of representing information in a larger ecosystem of triples, augmented triples, JSON, XML, HTML, PDF, and so on.
