An SXML representation would be very close to Skribilo's AST as returned
by the reader.  It could be useful to Scheme/Lisp applications designed
to operate on SXML and not on Skribilo's AST, of course; OTOH, I'm not
sure there are so many of them, since the tags and structure of the SXML
tree would be Skribilo-specific anyway.

Did you have any particular application in mind?

Thanks,
Ludo'.
