Hi,
I'd take a a look at the W3 web schools at
This may not be the answer you were looking for, but the site certainly helped me get my head round XML a bit.
Basically XML is yet another layer between the human and the browser, a bit like Java, but without the compiling!
You can specify your own 'tags' in XML using the 'Schema', which is a bit like the document template, then all XML documents are 'validated' against the Schema/Template to make sure that they have the correct data in. This way Program A can read the data it wants, ie Prog A Tags, and Prog B can read only the Prog B Tags.
I'm sure that there are more litterate people out there who can explain it a little better, but take a look at the web schools. I also found the XML spy stuff really good. The Home edition was recently given away with PC plus in the UK.
Hope that this helped
