Re: Guile & Sablotron

[Kirill Lisovsky]

Hello,

Please drop a look at SXML:
http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/SXML.html

It represents

> >         <division id="North">
> >                 <revenue>10</revenue>
> >                 <growth>9</growth>
> >                 <bonus>7</bonus>
> >         </division>

...

>       (division (id "North")
>               (revenue 10)
>               (growth 9)
>               (bonus 7))


as

(division (@ (id "North"))
          (revenue 10)
          (growth 9)
          (bonus 7))

which makes it clear that "id" is attribute, and not a nested element.
It also provides support for Namespaces, SXPath and XPath,
xml->sxml parsing, sxml->xml/html transformation, and much more...
