Some interesting definitions of XML. Here's my short one, which may or may not be technically correct, but I find it a useful point of view:

XML is a computer friendly version of SGML. It is a general purpose markup language just like SGML, but refined to be easier to manipulate with computer technology. The primary purpose of XML is for defining application specific markup languages. Examples of such markup languages are xhtml, wml, rss.
