The problem with XML is that it has a higher learning curve than html and once you finally know how to implement and use
it: it doenst offer anything significant.
However.. if you want to be able to do what you are doing now in the near future (where no longer your data will be exclusively approached by PC's using a standard browser and access from and to different platforms is business as usual) these are one of the key technologies you should follow and learn.
XML is not about design and layout (and that's what technologies
like html, dhtml, flash etc offer) it's about DATA.
