[plt-dev] changing xexpr

Would PLT be willing to change sexprs in the near future to a new 
'standard' sexp-based representation for XML?

The goals are: (1) unify SXML and PLT's xexprs; (2) make a few 
improvements on both.

The practical problem is getting this new representation adopted by PLT 
and others.  Otherwise, I might as well stick with SXML, the current de 
facto standard.

Regarding PLT adoption, I'm thinking that the new representation could 
start with xexprs, replace the non-sexp structs with sexp forms, and add 
a few missing things.  PLT's implementation of this representation could 
be made backward-compatible with programs that use the old sexpr 
representation.

I'd want to involve a PLT representative and at least Oleg or Kirill in 
reviewing the proposal and suggesting any changes.  I suspect this 
should be a SRFI at some point.
