What is XML for?

[Dave Winer]

>>Perhaps not the primary storage medium, but certainly as the backup medium.

Exactly right. 

We have our content management system archive every change and every new
message to a folder containing XML files as backup against a crash of the
odb and to allow easy synchronization with other databases that understand
XML.

This is a totally appropriate use of XML.
