+1.
XML is very powerful when it comes to presenting data (because it
details how data imbricate with each other). But XML is very unnatural
when it comes to crawling the data in an unexpected and ever-changing
manner (because XML tree structure is chosen once for all, usually
before even knowing which queries will be applied upon itself).
