There is a widespread agreement that XML is generally bad for the data serialization, while HTML is not much questioned as such. You can't carelessly adopt angle brackets without why such difference exists in the first place [1].

If you figured that out yourself, you should have also realized that angle brackets are generally considered bad for the data serialization. Cherry-picking my words without answering my whole point is not a good move.
