Indeed.  I know that i wouldn't have any use for it at the moment,
but i can see the potential for usefulness of a structured representation
for Python source code (like an AST in XML) which could be directly
edited in an XML editor, and processed (by an XSL stylesheet?) to produce
actual runnable Python.  But attempting to mix the two doesn't get
you anywhere.
