XML is almost always misused
If a piece of technology is "almost always" misused, is that the fault of the users, or the technology?

If you mean "users" as in "users of the XML format", then it's the fault of developers as 'users' of their applications don't have any choice in the matter.

I mean "users" exactly the same way "used" was meant in the author's statement. So yes, the developers, who are the people who are using XML.
