What does your boss think is the difference between an XMI file verses
an XML file? It presence of xmi:version="2.0" and
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" in the root element is the only
difference.

I think your boss might be confused. You should ask him some skill
testing questions about the different between XML and XMI. See if he
gives the same answer as above.

It helps with migration when the serialization changes significantly
between versions of the same model.
