The Role of XML at W3C

<BLOCKQUOTE>
While in principle anyone is free to use any syntax in a new language, the
evident advantages from sharing the syntax are so great that new languages
should where it is not overly damaging in other ways be written in XML. Apart
from the efficiency of sharing tools, parsers, and understanding, this also
leverages the work which has been put in to XML in the way of
internationalization, and extensibility.
