Could you elaborate?  I'm looking at sxml's Wikipedia page, which has an
example where

  <tag attr1="value1"
       attr2="value2">
    <nested>Text node</nested>
    <empty/>
  </tag>

maps to

  (tag (@ (attr1 "value1")
          (attr2 "value2"))
    (nested "Text node")
    (empty))

This seems pretty regular to me.
