    XML is a markup language that can be used for anything.

    RSS is a type of XML document to describe feeds.

    So, all RSS are XML documents, but not all XML documents are RSS.

    The difference is the same as that between html and web pages.
    RSS documents are "wrtitten" in XML.
    Just like the iTunes music library is an XML file.
    It's the delivery mechanism that is important here ...
