Yes but that's rather the point. 

If you ignore  the ways in which the formats are not equivalent (like the specific one mentioned in my post) that lunch is going to either make  you  throw up or cause you indigestion. 

Talk is cheap and experience can be a very bitter teacher.

Somebody comes along and wants to remodel this in JSON and the reason when you've cut through all the is that bullshit JSON has eaten XML's lunch and if you disagree that it would be bullshit let's just agree that it's not going to be because you can do the subtyping in the data model you originally designed in JSON. 

So my attitude is let them make that argument and if they win the contract let them go build the system.
