> have nothing to do with markup
Yes, it's a badly named language. It has nothing to do with markup. As always, intentions don't matter at all, and it's the best tool we have for certain types of structures.
It is a properly named language. Just a staggering majority of XML use is for a purpose it was not originally designed for. It is meant to be a good tool for progressive enhancement text markup, such as stylizing hypertext or math equations.
