Well, a document could "look" like XML but still not be XML.  Here is a
definition from xml.com:

	[Definition:] A data object is an XML document if it is well-formed, as
	defined in this specification. A well-formed XML document may in addition
	be valid if it meets certain further constraints.

FWIW, I ran a test KWord document through two XML syntax checkers.  The
KWord XML passed with flying colors!  This means that KWord XML is indeed
well-formed, hence it *is* XML.  I don't believe that KOffice has a
DTD so it can't be "valid"... but that's not important yet.

The two syntax checkers I used were:
