Yea, HTML looks, acts and feels like XML so it may as well actually *be* 
XML. Plus, tranformations to/from HTML is one of the main reasons for XML 
anyway. So they *should* be compatible.

('Course there's *technically* SGML too, but honestly, HTML is the only 
reason anyone's ever cared about or even known about SGML. It may as well 
not exist.)
