I have done a little research on XML and find it combersome and somewhat confusing. I am lost as to the advantages of XML and its offshoots. Why is XML touted as being so powerful? What can be accomplished in XML that cannot be accomplised through a combination of HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL? Although XML may be able to eliminate the need to use all of these languages at once, I find that it is much easier to use the aformentioned languages as opposed to XML.
