No. XML is very much a tree yet has "that other" document model. The
difference is whether you allow a node to contain "mixed" (as the
XMLians call it) stuff (nodes and text, basically) or you allow
certain nodes to only have one text element at the very beginning
(Org). Actually, Org is more confusing than that, because inline
markup, blocks and all that /are/ allowed to mix with normal text.
