This characterization of XML is about as silly as it is possible to get. You might just as well claim that XML is designed to overcome world hunger. The one place where XML tries to overcome a specifically-ASCII limitation is where it *mandates Unicode support*. (As for baroque syntax, at least it's not half as baroque as TeX ...)
