You may not think the XML is a kind of programming language.

It is a programming language to exchange data or meta data.

The syntax is the following.
<tag> ... </tag>

I'd like to use my native language in the <tag>s

I know a tag is not identifier but the tag is processed by
the XML processor.

Regards,
Hiro
