I know how to use XML, and how to use CSS. I want to create a webpage without HTML at all. Only XML with CSS. But I can't find webpages designed only with these two tools. I want to find webpages with .xml extension and without HTML at all. If XML is even better than HTML, I would expect to find popular websites created ONLY with XML and CSS. But I always find HTML somewhere in the webpages. Why I can't find 100% XML with CSS webpages, without HTML AT ALL! ??
When I search stuff on the Internet, I easily find pages with these extentions: .html, .asp, .php, .shtml, .xhtml. But I hardly find pages with .xml extention. I have seen then almost only for RSS feed, but never a good informative page with a .xml extention, even those encouraging people to use XML, or teaching XML. Does it mean that you hardly can do a 100% XML with CSS page? Do you almost always need HTML? Why is it so hard to find a 100% XML page, like with CSS for example? Do you have links of 100% XML pages?
Right Ikool. I know that XML is not for presenting data. That is why I am talking about XML with CSS. XML for data and metadata, but CSS for presentation. Why I can't find webpages using ONLY XML WITH CSS? Why do they use HTML all the time? Is it a bad idea or not easy to use ONLY XML WITH CSS?
 
Because you don't understand what XML is. XML is a way of describing data, not a way of displaying data.

HTML is a way of displaying information. You might be thinking of XHTML which is a version of HTML that follows XML rules of opening and closing every tag.

XML is not a language, in the sens that is has pre-configured tags, you create your own like:
<MyYahooAnswer>Bla Bla Bla</MyYahooAnswer>

There I just created some xml, but it is useless unless the program reading it know my schema and knows what to do with the <MyYahooAnswer> tag that I created.
 
Well HTML is so basic you will all most always find it. Most real webmasters will use it in last case scenarios.

I know often while designing a web page I'll be all most done then realize I've missed something. 10 minutes of HTML and it is fixed.

It's a quick fix and everyone needs them sometimes.
