This is precisely why XSLT and XPath define the data model as an abstraction. You don't have to create the data model from a source XML document, you can create it from anything. If you want to define a format that is like XML except that the namespace declarations are contained in the end tags, you are free to do so, so long as you can parse it into the XPath data model. Whether it will catch on or not is another matter...
