Not really.

    Thomas> On the market, "my time" has negative value

*sneeze*  My, it's gotten dusty here ... and what's that smell?

    Thomas> What do you mean by "XML"?

The family of markup languages for directing page formatting systems
that conform to XML syntax, providing the possibility of semantic
markup as well.

    Thomas> Do you mean [...]?  Awiki

I'm not talking about "Awiki", I'm talking about the plaintext markup
subsystem.

    Thomas> Do you mean "XML syntax?"

More or less.
