Answer 3

If you really want to understand XML, read the specification.

It is not the easiest read, but it is the most authoritative.

Answer 4

The O'Reilly website http://www.xml.com/ is a good place to start. The home page has a sidebar with links like:

• What is XML?
• What is XSLT?
• What is XSL-FO?
• What is XLink?
• What is XML Schema?
• What is XQuery?

However this is not a beginners only site, it features regular articles from many good practitioners on how to get the most out of XML.

http://www.w3schools.com/xml/ is another good site with great introductory and intermediate level content.
