I hope this is useful constructive feedback:

I can't really understand the point of this project just from the
README.  In particular, it's not clear to me (as a Texinfo user and
occasional author) what "fully semantic", "arbitrarily accessible",
and "runtime configurable" mean, and hence what IXIN is intended to
offer over Texinfo, since I would have thought that these characteristics
could already be used to describe Texinfo.

I suspect I could answer my own questions by looking at the project
closer and/or reading past threads on the list, but if you want your
project to attract wider interest, I would definitely recommend
clarifying this in the README.
