This is a good idea, much like the thing IBM had for a while (maybe still do), TeXML, that did the same thing for TeX. The TeXML (which you could naturally create with a transform) was picked up by some Java to create the TeX.

Cheers,
Wendell

I think what would really be useful and reusable would be an XSLT
transform (+java extensions maybe) that goes from an "XMLization" of
the MIF format to the actual format, say converting something like

<mif:document template="someMifTemplate.mif">
  <mif:para style="someMifStyle">
    This is some XML<mif:emdash/>generated MIF document
  </mif:para>
</mif:document>

to MIF.

Such a general XML-to-MIF transform would be very useful if integrated
in a publishing framework like Cocoon (xml.apache.org/cocoon), to
generate MIF documents on the fly.
