the actual patent i4i filed is readable at 
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,787,449.PN.&OS=PN/5,787,449&RS=PN/5,787,449

see article

"Toronto-based i4i claims that Microsoft infringed on US patent 5,787,449, which
was issued in July 1998. In March 2007, the company filed the case in Tyler,
where a jury later found for i4i."

I started reading through the patent, and it doesn't seem to be "XML in
general".  it seems to be a system where metadata has been worked into the
document as a metacode map.  I could be wrong, but I think not all XML is like
that.  read through it yourself.
