Here's a go at some text for the XML paragraph
XML provides a simple standardised way to serialize information
representable as labelled trees with annotations and
cross-references, allowing a free choice of markup vocabulary. This
not only makes it well-suited for human-authored documents,
particularly given its facility for mixed content (plain and
marked-up text) and built-in support for Unicode, but also means it
is a useful syntax for all kinds of machine-to-machine data
transfer. XHTML, Docbook and DITA are examples of XML-based
languages primarily intended for documents; machine-to-machine uses
include UPnP (for networked device discovery) and AEMP (for
construction equipment).
