You probably know this already: You're going have to learn XML whether you want to or not.

If you're unfamiliar with XML and you'd like a quick tutorial, check out the XML primer in Appendix A. If you want to know lots and lots about XML, check out Essential XML for Web Professionals by yours truly.
