If you mean, can we use an ixml grammar to parse XML, then the short
answer is 'yes', though the XML that comes out will not be the XML that
came in.  Joel Dubinko just asked the same question on the public-ixml
list [1]; see his question and the resulting thread (with toy grammar
and example input and output).
