XAML

I'm not sure if I understand what XAML is. Is it supposed to be used for creating UI, like Windows Forms? If so, is its purpose to replace Windows Forms altogether? What else can XAML be used for? Also, any comments?
 
As I understand it, it's a markup language (same concept as html, but richer) for defining user interfaces. I doubt it'd replace winforms, it's probably implemented under the hood with winforms and I wouldn't be surprised if there were bindings so that you could make your own ui components with real code and then reference them from xaml.

As an example of what a gui markup language can do, firefox's (and I believe seamonkey's too) entire interface is written in xul, which is similar in concept. On the whole, I can't see it being a bad thing, particularly if the standard is open enough to make xaml useful for cross platform development.
