The Internet became what it is today because HTML was accepted as a universal language for displaying images and text. The impact of XML will first be seen in great improvement it will bring to search results on search engines.

Today's search engines produce a lot of irrelevant results. That's because, to a search engine, a word or phrase is just a pattern of letters without meaning. XML will eliminate a lot of this "garbage" search results by labeling content more thoroughly.

This may all sound like something out of distant future, but it will become our reality in near future. The most amazing feats resulting from XML are those that we can't even image yet. The future will be an exciting time to live and XML will play a large role.

Don't look at HTML of some page you think looks great and let it scare you or deter you from your goal of getting your business online. It looked awesome to me too when I started but now I do all my own web pages and my site now has over 50 individual pages. Play around with it, change it, test it and you will learn it! AND you will be online before you know it!
