The tags used to mark up HTML documents and the structure of HTML documents are predefined. The author of HTML documents can only use tags that are defined in the HTML standard (like <p>, <h1>, etc.).
XML allows the author to define his own tags and his own document structure.
The tags in the example above (like <to> and <from>) are not defined in any XML standard. These tags are "invented" by the author of the XML document.

Impossible is Nothing
simple goto www.w3schools.com and read there XML tutorials and you will learn everything about XML.
Yes XML could be used with ASP.

I was wondering- is xml sort of considered like a stylesheet? (example: css) or is it more considered something like html? where you make tables and such.
You know how an HTML document (.html) usually contains tags like "<TABLE>"... well an XML document (.xml) contains similar looking tags with one difference, an XML document contains such tags that aren't predefined. I would if you inserted "<monsterous>Nerd</monsterous>" along with the nessesary tags (i.e <HTML>) in an HTML document, would a browser such as IE recognize that as a valid tag? No, because it is not part of the predefined set of tags supported by that browser. With the an XML document that tag could be valid but instead of showing a monsterous nerd with geeky glasses the text "Nerd" would be the data that would be accessible by a XSLT based document which uses X-Path to access the "Nerd" text using the tag "<mounsterous>" to know where it is. So no, XML is a document that STORES the data. XSLT is the stylesheet and it would contain HTML tags along with an XSL tag to access the data from an XML file which would be linked. It would use the HTML in conjuction with the XSL tag to output HTML that looks nice.
For further information I recommend www.w3schools.com along with the others whoms reply message contains the same link. :rolleyes:
