Apple seem to using XML for a number of applications,
in particular Keynote (their PowerPoint equivalent).
However, they are not necessarily very good at designing
XML (unlike their hardware [*]).  A Keynote presentation file
unfortunately is not quite well-formed nor is it legal for
XML Namespaces (they use ':' in their element names - ouch!).

Fortunately, if you feed Keynote with a well-formed, XML-Namespaces-
legal document it reads it OK.  This is how I generate my
presentations.
