I had a dream...

You said it : please don't stop halfway. What you propose is just an
XML equivalent to the syntax tree of a scripting code... We will soon
be able to build over the same underlying technology (and parser) the
document instance, styles, transformation rules, dcd, but not
scripting. But the syntax tree of a given code being a graph, there is
no problem at all to describe it in XML ! Many people already do that
so they can store pieces of codes directly in object-oriented
databases and can use *ML technologies for code searching or
comparison, and of course for code writing.

There quite no major blocking factor. But will our tool vendors be
receptive to this argument ?
