Sure. But our language doesn't have a standard lossless format yet,
it doesn't have an XPath implementation at all, and it's not clear to
me why a lossless sexp format would be all that much more readable
than XML (assuming an XML mode designed to be readable, which would
probably be a bigger gain than XML-to-Lisp -- all XML modes I've seen
have been designed for use by those who think XML is readable).
I think you've got a lot of work ahead of you.
