FORGET THE XML SYNTAX!
I agree. The optimum is Lisp.

Pfff, changing angle brakets with rounded brakets is not exactly what I call a difference.
And considering the adoption of XSLT compared to DSSSL (which used a lisp-based syntax) only the lisp-oriented people would agree with your definition of 'optimality'.
And reality tells you that there are 100 C-like-syntax-used persons for each single lisp-like-syntax-used person. So plan to throw your potential user market down the drain.
this is the same exact argument that made us choose javascript instead of scheme for the flowscript syntax. And I think it still holds.
