I must agree to you on most parts but I do think xml is useful on
dataexchange between system. Of course this could be done easily without
xml to bu its convenient to use its form of syntax instead of making up
your own one.
Like when I'm sometimes moving stuff from an mysql database to another
machine without sql features.
But I cant see the point in storing data with it since I can do the
exact same thing with for example mysql( if I havent missed anything
obvious ). Therefor I havent got the point for using it in apllications
since its so handy to use sql.But I works well for temporary data
exchange.
