Whatever argument for XML you can give, it applies for any other format.
The use of XML has been discussed to death before, and there are just no
arguments for it that do not apply to the current format just as well. As
such, there is no point to argue for XML.  To the contrary, there are things
you can do in POV-Ray right now that would be incredibly difficult to
express in XML.
