Yep, but people have been doing this for ages, and XML doesn't help or
hinder this at all. XML as a way of seperating content and presentation
started because it was designed to split Web pages into content and
presentation, it's nothing to do with having content generating code
seperating from presentation code - that's just good programming practice,
XML or no XML.
