I think it is, too. 

That said, I wouldn't like such a repository to be too closely tied to
XML syntax (though it could implement an XML look-and-feel on top).
There's lots of tagged hierarchical information (LaTeX, RTF, NROFF,
etc.)  that doesn't happen to be XML but still shares many of its
structural properties.


All the best,


David
