You can try that but storing data might be better done with a data base. 
At least if the data needs to be updated often and by several users of 
the web site.
The main issue to decide is whether to use server-side or client-side 
programming to extract data from XML and transform it to HTML to be 
included in the HTML documents a browser of a visitor to your web site 
displays. Not everyone has server-side programming (e.g. PHP or ASP or 
JSP or Perl CGI) with his hosting but that is the only way to ensure any 
visitor gets the proper content and not only one visiting with a browser 
supporting e.g. JavaScript and/or XML and/or client-side XSLT.

HTML documents allow you to include lists (e.g. <ul> or <ol> with <li> 
items) and tabular data (e.g. <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tr>, <th>, 
<td>) thus XML is not needed to have that in an HTML document the 
visitors of your web site see.
