XML was intended as a type of descriptive markup. For more information on the different types of markup, see: Coombs, James H., Allen H. Renear, and Steven J. DeRose. “Markup Systems and the Future of Scholarly Text Processing.” Association for Computing Machinery. 30. November 1987.

This example is from my own research, “Exploring Speech in Russian Fairy Tales,” which is documented at: http://gk.obdurodon.org/projectLog.xhtml

This idea can be tied into practice theory. For more information see: Scifleet, Paul and Susan P. Williams “Practice Theory and the Foundations of Digital Document Encoding.” Association for Computing Machinery.

Often in XML tag names camel case is used. In creating tag names spaces cannot be used, so words are often joined.
