The benefit of XML will become obvious once you start sharing
your stuff with different platforms.
(for example your XML tgp gallery listing would be shareble
to mobile users, users with a pda, and normal webbrowser
clients without having the need for a seperate data source for each).
XML is a layer between platform specific data(access)sources (databases, php etc etc) and the output/markup language
for the specific browser / client or application. (like the
example above)
DATA sharing over multiple platforms: that's what it's all about.
