I think XML *is* widely used, and it is not a complex specialty skill
at all.
A long while back I was working on a dev team, writing some Web pages,
and I was trying to do something I didn't know how to do with HTML (I
no longer remember what the problem was). I was new on the team and
didn't know everybody. So I asked my boss "Who here is an HTML expert?"
and he replied "I hope we all are here!"
I'll never forget his wise answer. A bit ashamed, I went and looked it
up, and figured it out myself. That's how I think tech writers should
view XML.
