It's not XML, it's an X-expression:

  Xexpr ::= String
         |  (cons Symbol (cons (listof (list Symbol String)) (listof 
Xexpr)))
         |  (cons Symbol (listof Xexpr)) ;; an element with no attributes
         |  Symbol ;; symbolic entities such as &nbsp;
         |  Number ;; numeric entities like &#20;
         |  Misc
