This sentence is talking about the behaviour of a particular XML structure.
It's only true or false in the context of that structure (and it's very
informal language anyway, so it also depends on the context of the
conversation.)

Asking whether this is true is like asking whether it's true that Mary is
married to John. The names mean nothing when taken out of context.
