Oh I agree. It was just a thought that struck me when I was thinking about
how new technologies can be used for gaming in general. CSV is much easier
to use, if you already know how to extract the information. The great thing
about XML is that it describes the data as well as supplies it. But
currently it does have limited use in many areas.

I've seen it used a lot as a database replacement, and to do some very
interesting cross-website communication.
