There are many other methods for viewing data other than using XML, so
that is not an advantage of XML in itself.

Eliminating VANS is not a feature of XML. Any Internet or direct
dialup communication method can be used for transporting interchange
file with or without XML use.

Internet can be more secure than VANS in many ways.

This has nothing to do with XML either. Hacking can be easier
with VANS than Internet, depending on the security arrangements
at the nodes. With Internet, individual packets of data (small
portions of the interchange file) can take different (random)
routes between source and destination nodes.

Do VANS really add value? XML has nothing whatever to do with what
happens to VANS.
