Again, maybe I'm too late, but:
Is a switch to XML is really a good idea?
The XML hype is over, we don't use Java, LyX
doesn't run on a Application-Server, and we
live now in a App/web-app world where Json
is more common than XML.
And living in the Latex world this means we should
not use XML but the equivalent for Json in Tex:
Lua. http://www.lua.org/
In future there is a Latex with an embedded script
language
http://www.luatex.org/
which we could use NOW for our needs.
What would help me here is to see a simple example of what the file
format would look like.
But I think part of the point of XML is its self-validating and highly
structured character.
