I (ab)use xexprs for Pollen because they're used in the Racket web server, and 
because at the time, SXML seemed largely abandoned — no traffic on its mailing 
list [1] and today, even Oleg's SXML page is a 404. [2] 

I wouldn't try to pry SXML from anyone's fingers. But dragging around 
open-source software abandoned by its owner tends to incite conditions of 
madness. (Insert your favorite 80s typesetting system here.)
