I'm sorry but the onus is on you to defend your initial claim. If you
do not believe that XML is designed for nodes, you should refute that
claim in support of your own. Without any evidence for your claim, we
cannot continue.

Any interested party who examines your argument and desires evidence
in support of it.

So, instead of actually argue for your hasty assertion or retract it,
you simply take your ball and go home?

Why did you even start communicating? Surely, you must have been
interested in either informing observers or refining some theory of
yours. You appear to have neither informed anyone of anything nor
improved any theory. I look forward to your future contributions.

Thanks for playing,
