I have tried, really

   Hi everyone.

 This is my first post to the list, so I guess I should present myself.
My name is David, my real job is research on programming languages, my
night/week-end job is open-source developer. 

 For about one year, I have been looking at o-xml with curiosity. I've
browsed through the website & documentation, I've tried very hard and
still I don't understand: What is the point ? Is this a student
project ? Is there someone actually interested in coding directly with
an abstract syntax instead of a concrete one -- and who doesn't do Lisp
already ?

Cheers,
 David

P.S.:
 Sorry, if this sounds trollish. I guess it is a half-troll, but I would
really like to know the answer to that question.
