'This markup language isn't even as capable as Habbo Hotel, but it counts anyway because I just called it a programming language.'

There is a literal hierarchy of syntaxes which are recognized by different categories of machine. Programs require a Turing machine. Anything lesser - in a subset like pushdown automata or finite-state machines - doesn't need a proper computer. So it's not a program.
