I like that very much! You can use SAX filters when passing processing around inside one system, and re-serialization and parsing when you need to cross system barriers. In either case, you get to enjoy the benefits of labeled structures. It doesn't solve every problem in programming, but it's a nice model for many kinds of flow.
