Re: imperative/OO language with XML syntax?

Brian,

I have a project in the works that is exactly as you describe.  Its by
no means any sort or standard nor is there anything published at this
point.  But if there is some common code that we can share thats
always a good thing.

Contact me off list if you want to discuss further.
