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. //Eric
