And maybe while the Excel spreadsheet is still being edited it is 4-Dimensional because
it holds the history of the edits in that editing session.

XML is 1-dimensional. It is defined as a sequence of characters.
That's indeed true. Most of our programming languages and data representation formats are one-dimensional. This is interesting, because in the past - when people still used punched cards - two-dimensional formats were much more popular; that is, the significance of a piece of data was determined by two coordinates, row number and column number.
I guess Excel spreadsheets are three-dimensional - row, column, and sheet number.
