http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ This is it! The W3C recommendation for XML 1.0 (3rd Edition)
http://www.xml.com/axml/testaxml.htm Even better! The annotated recomendation, annotations by Tim Bray, one of the authors, are useful and even sometimes humorous.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ms256452(en-US,VS.80).aspx An XML glossary from Microsoft's .net reference pages. Its usefulness will be better evaluated farther into the class.
