The down side is that the generality brings nothing special to the table in terms of advantages specific to the chess domain. Also, XML is not particularly friendly to human readers and so it cannot replace PGN as a mode of distribution on channels like BBSs and newsgroups. Undoubtedly, XML can have some kind of role as an adjunct format for data storage that is rarely, if ever, viewed directly by an end user.
