That's a fine strategy for developing business in a new market. But the problem is, Macromedia has reinvented Flash, basically making more attractive for existing developers who currently use Macromedia tools.
Flex is primarily aimed at a new market rather than existing Macromedia developers - J2EE and .NET application developers are not, currently, Macromedia developers in the sense you mean (if I understand you correctly).
But I need to statically generate swf files and MXML makes that whole process easier.
MXML relies on server-side machinery provided by the Flex system - it's far more than a compiler. The notion of releasing a "standalone MXML compiler" doesn't really make sense when you understand what MXML provides (the data modeling, the remote service binding etc - that all depends on server-side machinery).
