When you guys are saying that someone does or does not know what they are talking about, mention the name. Name of poster you are referring to. XML is being adopted by alot more than just Linux Kernal building programmers these days. Lots of people are using it on the web not only to generate their web data, but as a means of trafficking data via web services. So when you say we don't know what we are talking about. Point out what you have a problem with us saying. Most of us realize that whoever started the thread obviously got XML & XHTML mixed up. What he means is XHTML.
And the Quote of the day,
Speakin about XML:"it has nothing to do with website design or markup."
can someone get sp his trophy

Perhaps, but if implemented properly, XML will replace HTML. Browsers just need to parse it correctly.
True, XML has nothing to do with the presentation of data, but that's the point. HTML blows because it's got both structure and presentation in the same document, which is why the blasted pages are so difficult to maintain and why programs like DW came to be.
XML gives structure and meaning to data. The web is used to share and transmit data. XML is best suited for the web. Humans need data to look nice and be easy to read. Enter CSS, or CSS+Flash. (you still need to mark up and style the reference to the Flash object)
So, mark your data up in XML and make it webeautiful with CSS/Flash. What's so difficult?
