Community interest for XML content?

I was wondering if anyone in the Treehouse community would be interested in seeing content developed for XML.

Hi Jeff,

I would be interested in an XML video series for people who want to start from scratch. Although I understand XML, I don't think a lot of people have a good understanding behind its reasoning and use. A series of videos with examples would be great.

I've been wondering what the use case of building new sites using XML is these days.

We have HTML5, JSON & CSS. JSON seems much easier to parse over XML. I have a feeling I'm missing something here.

My interests in an XML series are definitely a step away from the core web and app development focus of Treehouse. The more I think about it, the more I see it as an outlying subject. I work in scholarly publishing, and I'm hoping to learn XML as it pertains to content(product) creation, not necessarily web design.
