I'm a big fan of S-expressions, but please show me an S-expression parsing library that has schemas, validation and so forth. The point is to get to a readable surface syntax *without* giving those things up. But there is a more subtle issue here that I've been trying to figure out how to express. The kind of stuff that I'm writing down isn't so much *content* as it is * declarations*. Which is a subtly different problem. It's notable that all of the various XML schema languages that are themselves written in XML are incredibly cumbersome. Much more so than *content* written in XML. Though I'm at a bit of a loss to explain why that should be. shap
