I built data transfer standards for the UK's outdoor advertising 
industry. I deliberately chose to use XML based standards because it 
enabled automatic validation of data files. The standards were quite 
specific. All automated systems were required to refuse any files not 
compatible with the DTD I had on my web server. Data providers were 
expected to prevalidate any files they sent to any other company.

This was my main argument for switching to XML from flat-files.
