Well, XML is more like a family of formats. It would be like saying  
that it's some form of text file output. The key question is the  
formatting of the chemical data itself inside XML.

If you have information on the XML format used by the ICDD database  
(e.g., is it PDBML, CML...?) or at least a few sample files, please  
post a request to the file format tracker:
