Hmmm. s/data/document/g

I don't see that it has ever been shown that XML is generally great for non-document data, such as relational data. And the rise of JSON suggests it is not so congenial for non-pipeline uses too, doesn't it?

Non document data tends to be XML only when there are other requirements or factors, such as longevity, validation, standardization, surrounding architecture, use of framework or library, team exposure, lack of datatypes, where the data firms a natural hierarchy, and so on.

          3. Bring all your XML tools to bear on solving the data processing problem
