Subject: XML - Practical uses?
Hello all,

    I apologize for this potentially lame question, but I am curious and it's 
killing me.  


What is the point of XML and what practical benifit would I get from writing
in it?

I guess I don't understand the differences between firing up vi and typing
hello or typing <p> hello </p> ? They both say the same thing right? They
both can be seen by any editor right? So what practical benifits does it
provide for.

Mind you I'm the same guy who asked whats the point of SGML:)
