Of course XHTML is XML if you want to be nitpicky.
I talked to someone at the MX North conference (email me for the name if you
want). He told me that they were doing some sites in XML/XSLT because of
accessibility issues. However the time to actually parse and render the site
was fairly slow. What happens with that is that the XML/XSLT is reparsed
into an HTML/XHTML document with tags and then rendered. So you still end up
with the HTML for the site.
The only way something like that would be viable would be if they wanted to
use that information in some other form as well, such as printing in SGML
and publishing to the web.

I've heard ESPN is now an all XML/CSS site - I'll have to Google for
some info, though.
