I think that my favorite quip on the topic is:

“XML is a giant step in no direction at all.” (Erik Naggum)

He also said this (I don't think he's much of an XML fan):

"Structure is _nothing_ if it is all you got. Skeletons _spook_ people if they try to walk around on their own. I really wonder why XML does not."
