Not to rain on the parade but markup transliteration of objects has been
done before.  See US Navy MID design prototypes.  If you use that analogy be
sure to clarify that this is not a simple transliteration.  Using a syntax
designed for documents to create a programming language turned out to be a
not very good idea.  MID I eventually became the predecessor to XAML and XUL
by about ten years.

Right.  I'd only use this analogy with someone who already has a vague 
idea that VOS is about communicating objects and not documents.
