XML Parrot Was: XML::Rules tagspec

Hi,

not really related to your posts, but also not completely unrelated:

I looked up XML::Rules on CPAN and followed the links in the
documentation. On this way I got to the idea of treating XML as lisp
on perlmonks.org. Now, I wonder if one should write a grammar for XML
in parrot. What would this mean? Would this be similar to the lisp
idea? Would this be helpful? Would this serve as a parser? Any ideas
on this?

thanks
Maurice
