Benefits of XML
Clear Content Ownership and Coordinated Publication Process
The use of a single source document can also foster collaboration between staff at organizations, which would not be accomplished as easily with HTML. XML encourages version control through the single-source document. This guards against multiple authors using different versions, and against any single individual claiming exclusive control of the content. All stakeholders involved in the publication process need to work together and design a workflow that allows the benefits of XML use to be realized.
