But is the result an alternative view of XML syntax, or an alternative
syntax of the XML Infoset?

BTW, I'm not arguing against your efforts; I'm pointing out what I see is a

you're not the only one working along such lines of reasoning.

If we get a plethora of interchangeable syntaxes, then they have a common
juncture to be coherent.
