FWIW, I see no meaning in the above question. XML is n-dimensional 
enough to represent graphs since any dimension semantics would probably 
be obtained from the vocabulary used, not the tree-based XML 
serialization format. For example:

<dimensions>
   <dimension num="-1" />
   <dimension num="2" />
   <dimension name="foo dimension" />
   <dimension num="6" />
</dimensions>

One can even merge n-dimensional info like the above.

Cheers,
