    XML is a subset of SGML. So, generally speaking, an SGML tool will probably work with XML data, but an XML tool might not work with SGML data. Your specific case might not be a problem, though, so it's worth a shot.

    Yes, as revdiablo said, XML is a subset of SGML, so is HTML. Some SGML can be parsed with an XML parser, it all depends.
