I believe this is a deluding claim. First, XML is not *one* format; is
is rather a "meta format"; you still need the document type definition
(valid vs. well-formed). Furthermore, the XML argument is good if
there is no established data format for some application. If there is
already an accepted format, I see no value in converting that to XML.
