Just to pick a nit, I think the above should really be:

<RESPONSE>

<FRAGMENT>

<WORD>Right.</WORD>

</FRAGMENT>

<FRAGMENT>

<WORD>No</WORD>

<WORD>redundancy</WORD>

<WORD>in</WORD>

<WORD>XML</WORD>

<WORD>after</WORD>

<WORD>all</WORD>

<EMOTICON>;o)</EMOTICON>

</FRAGMENT>

</RESPONSE>

or alternatively:

<RESPONSE>

<FRAGMENT>

<WORD>Right.</WORD>

</FRAGMENT>

<SENTENCE>

<WORD>There</WORD>

<WORD>is</WORD>

<WORD>no</WORD>

<WORD>redundancy</WORD>

<WORD>in</WORD>

<WORD>XML</WORD>

<WORD>after</WORD>

<WORD>all</WORD>

<EMOTICON>;o)</EMOTICON>

</SENTENCE>

</RESPONSE>
