Hi,

I had a similar thought myself that this could be very handy while
jumping into the markup realm.

XML itself is described using an adaptation of EBNF. There is also a
respective ISO standard for EBNF.
But I am unaware of any XML (markup) representation of ENBF syntax. I
believe it is not so complicated to produce a XSD for this and s.o.

I wonder if there is any primary task you are urgent to solve with
this besides satisfying own transformation joy?
