XML predates the web because, as wikipedia puts it:
> XML is an application profile of SGML (ISO 8879)
The same page also notes:
> most of XML comes from SGML unchanged.
XML is, therefore, not "web technology". It has been used within a web context, but predates the web in almost all senses other than having actually been created by the W3C.
