Isn't the final output HTML?  Isn't the receiver a browser?

I agree that XML offers advantages over comma separated values, but what
does that have to do with it?  XML may be good for program to program
communication, but is it good for HTML generation?

Brad Stone likes to point out that technology is often used for the sake of
promoting technology rather than solving problems.  When used in that
manner, the problems only get bigger.  Is such the case when HTML is
generated from XML?
