Sorry, this really has got OT now, so I'll shut up after this, but I'm still looking to make sense of a phrase like "typing in the XML markup".
Not really off topic, if we are using revXML to do it:-)
You have it right. XML is "extensible" markup language. You can invent your own document types. You can create XML documents just by thinking up element and attribute names, and typing it into a text editor!
However, if you want to interchange data with 3rd parties or apps, then you get into wellformed-ness of the document, and whether the text is compliant with a particular XML document type, which can be specified in various ways (DTD, Schema, RelaxNG, ???).
Many HTML editor apps can save docs as XHTML, which is HTML as a well-formed XML document. So if you know HTML you kind of know what XML is about already.
SMGL is the older, more complex sibling of XML.
