I don't know where you got that idea.

"XML was designed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to streamline data 
exchange across the Internet. XML is a "self-describing system," meaning that 
the data carried within XML files is defined by using a set of agreed upon 
terms. It is closely related to HTML, the markup language used for web-page 
creation. In fact, XML works similarly to HMTL. A website written in HTML can 
be shared universally; it doesn't matter if the page was designed on a Mac, 
Windows, or Linux computer. When data is written in XML, it can be transferred 
between applications, regardless of the factors that would typically mandate 
transforming the data into a useable format."
