I thought that the nature of the original challenge to provice a 
high-level explanation that would help someone who didn't know anything 
about XML understand WHY it is useful, as opposed to understanding how 
it works. For instance, my answer didn't use the words "element" or 
"attribute" at all.

Similarly, I would have expected an answer to the question posed by the 
RCXAU to be at a "why should I care" level. But then, I would have 
answered him by suggesting he start here:
