Dene, XML is just a data storage format that is very similar to HTML.
Put simply it's a list of key/tag and value pairs.
However the tags/keys are not predefined like HTML - you can use whatever you 
like since it's a generic storage format.

For example you could store your personal info in an XML file like so :
<name>Dene</name>
<surname>Maxwell</surname>
<gender>male</gender>

If you have more than one person you could wrap the info inside another key 
like so :

<person>
  <name>Dene</name>
  <surname>Maxwell</surname>
  <gender>male</gender>
</person>

You'll find plenty of info in data/Docs regarding the keys/tags that 
FlightGear/SimGear use/expect.

Paul
