No way.
"XML is a set of rules, guidelines, conventions, whatever you want to
call them, for designing text formats for such data, in a way that
produces files that are easy to generate and read (by a computer),
that are unambiguous, and that avoid common pitfalls, such as lack of
extensibility, lack of support for internationalization/localization,
and platform-dependency."
