Agreed that there is a "standard" behind XML, but in
the end, after you've specified your document type
definition (or whatever it is now), you still boil
down to conventions and data format.

Beyond that, you are just talking about tools that
work with XML.

I guess what I am saying is that you havn't convinced
me that XML is anything more than a "data format
and standard".
