I would say that you would use XML not directly on the Palm, but as a
format to translate to for the Palm. A likely application would be to
take an SQL database and use an XML translation layer to format answers
to queries into the format your Palm database uses and send that data to
the Palm.

It's probably not for you right away then. It's one of those things
where you certainly have every advantage to gain from learning about and
becoming familiar with, but will only become truly useful and worthwhile
mastering when you have an actual application for it.
