Agree with that analysis. XML itself is pretty close to being raw syntax 
for data structures. Those structures certainly *can* express 
programming operations (XSLT being the obvious example but not the only 
one), but even when that's done the document which describes the 
operations is generally separate from the document which describes the 
data to be operated on.

Much the same as the separation of program and data files in any other 
syntax(es).
