This is true if you are using XML to define a syntax of a language. Just
same as any other language, the syntax definition doesn't implement real
work defined by using syntax, it is the underline language
implementation.

XML understands little about the context how data is used. Through XML
schema, data constraint can be specified. However, as to the data's
final validation, it depends on the end application.
