Would you provide an example of something that cannot be expressed in XML but can be expressed in some other data language, please?
Overlap.
I was about to give the same answer, but overlap can be indeed be expressed in XML, albeit sometimes clumsily [1].

All kinds of graphs can be represented in XML, for example. They don't need to be acyclic or directed.

One could even go as far as to say: Give me a textual or xs:base64Binary representation of that other data language and I'll put tags around it and quote some special characters, and voilà, here's your XML representation.

So the question should be more like: Are there more natural fits as languages for expressing some data.
