I'm with Tim -- XML is a standard, not a religion.  There are three
good reasons to use XML:

1. A solid business and technological case for XML over the other
   alternatives.
2. Experimental research.
3. Pure aesthetic joy.

I use XML for #3, but I insist that my customers use it only for #1 or 
#2; if not, there is the danger of

4. Hype

which is the technological equivalent of deficit spending.


All the best,


David
