You wouldn't "need" to per se.  There are alternate methods of transferring
data around that don't require XML.

However XML is a standard for delivering such information that everyone can
figure out, you can send the layout (be it a DTD or XSD format) and the
actual data, and the entity on the other end can read it without a problem.
The real power behind XML is it's portableness and platform independence.
However, if you're building an application in ColdFusion that is strictly in
house and can do something more efficiently in data transfer without XML,
why bother?
