I like the general approach, but find the syntax irksome.  Still, I found
Python's significant whitespace irritating until I started using Python.  I
also liked XSLT initially, but I found it disgusting to use in complex
use-cases.  Therefore, I am reserving my judgment on E4X.  Also, I am not
going to use it if it is going to be proprietary.  Is there something
lighter than Weblogic Workshop that I can use to try out?

Best,
