Neither. XML Schema Documents can define a grammar for a language that applications (including people) can imbue with meaning. The same is true for other syntaxes, such as RDF/Turtle, RDF/N3, RDF/XML. The existence of the last of these is a proof that, if RDF can convey semantics, and if an RDF graph, once transmitted over RDF/XML, and reconstituted, still has the same semantics, RDF/XML can contain semantics, and therefore XML can contain semantics (and so can ASCII, and so can ethernet electrical signals...).
