Thanks Nala,

There is no source for XmlAT anywhere published. I am using only Lisp and 
sometimes Scheme, such software could be of use in website revision systems, 
and also in conversion of HTML to SEXPR when one wish to provide structured 
document with backlinks with ability to finely grained link to specific 
paragraphs.

But without sources of not even possible to try it out.
