Nice idea. Would need some new low level node. Perhaps SXMLSMF? Or SJSONSMF. I'm not an expert in either, but the relocatable, possibly repeating, sections might be a bit difficult to document. Perhaps a DTD is needed as well. SDTDSMF and ADTDSMF in what appears to be IBM's current SMP/E naming convention.
