Actually, I think the other main advantages are that it's pure text (unlike
ASN.1/BER) and you can interleave text and structure (i.e., it has PCDATA
and CDATA). It's also easy to write simple parsers for, given the amount of
power it provides.
If you want to map something to a programming language per se, ASN.1 is a
standardized (really standardized, which I don't think XML is) formatting
system that's much more appropriate.
