Standardized XML transport formats are commonly used for representing

If "transport" and "messages" are merely implementation details of
some distributed database application,

But of course they're not, they have nothing really to do with
distributed database application, nor is it desirable that they
should. Consequently they have nothing really to do with dbms theory.

There are three things you can do with data: process it, store it, and
transport it.
These three are all interrelated.

That seems so limiting like having an emotional vocabulary of happy, sad and angry. With data, one can: misinterpret it, corrupt it, ignore it, discover it, lose it, find it, buy it, sell it, steal it, protect it, waste it, discuss it, manage it etc.
