HTML is valid markdown. So I'm not sure how you make oppose markdown and XML. XML is basically a subset of markdown.

    <b>This</b> <i>is</i> *valid*
    <ul>
    <li>*Mark*</li>
    <li>_down_</li>
    </ul>
Markdown basically adds a whole layer of complexity upon HTML.

If you're writing things like that in Markdown files (without being escaped in code blocks as HTML syntax examples), you're doing it wrong.
