You are overselling your case. The representation you're pushing also
has its complexities. For instance, you need to mangle symbol names to
get the symbols representing XML attributes.
I can see where your arguments are coming from, but I don't think enough
has been brought to the table to justify switching to a non-standard and
non-backward-compatible internal format.
