Yes.

Nonpareil will be a language as well as a program, just like Lout
is, and when a document is saved it will be by default in the
Nonpareil format.  Although I don't feel obliged to actually
use XML (I'm not a fan), clearly the Nonpareil format is going
to be a large structured literal like XML is, with opportunities
for conversion.  The structure will be much more tightly defined
than Lout is (there isn't really a Lout grammar, but there will
certainly be a Nonpareil grammar), making conversion quite feasible.
