I would highly doubt that it does.  cc-mode is really only useful as a 
base for languages that look more or less like C.  Curly brace languages 
in other words.  For instance python-mode and the ML mode I've seen are 
not based on cc-mode because the differences in the languages are too 
great.  I'm sure the difference between C and XML is also too great.
