The W3schools tutorial mentions that XML can be used to exchange all kinds of information, including spreadsheets. What is the advantage of using XML rather than exporting a spreadsheet in DBF or as ASCII?
As HTML needs an application to read HTML markup, what is recommended to read XML markup and use it for example, at home? (Bergholz listed http://xmlsoftware.com but the site requires a login).
One problem I can think of with XML is if it uses tags like "author" for a bib entry, how does it transfer to a non-English speaking application? Someone receiving the English language item would have to be prepared to have their software interpret it.
