Not at all.  It's just that XML is useful for *interchange* between
different applications written by different people.  Maintaining your
software's internal data structures in XML form -- as a DOM tree, say
-- is certainly silly, on the other hand, because it's so much easier
to have native Python/C++/whatever objects.
