General Q about benefits of XML

From: "Maxx Cairn" <jon_caplan@-------.--->
To: NULL
Date: 3/3/2006 9:00:00 AM
I am new to XML, but have immersed myself in it pretty thoroughly for
the past few weeks.

I have created (in XML) a directory for an organization that I belong
to. There won't be a server connection, so I thought that one benefit
would be the ability to do sorting and filtering dynamically on the
client side. But apparently that only works reliably in IE.

I am really struggling to find the benefits of using XML if the data is
not intended to be exchanged with others. It seems like I am better off
doing it the old-fashioned way -- storing the data in a db and
outputting HTML files.

The whole world is moving to XML, so I'm sure I'm missing something.
Can anybody shed some light? Thanks in advance.
