Um, isn't this essentially XDuce (http://xduce.sf.net)?

let val e = html[
              head[
                title[title],
                link[ 
                  @rel["stylesheet],
                  @type["text/css"],
                  @href[stylesheet]]]
              body[
                p[text]]]

Now all we have to do is to tell all the GPs to drop Java in favour of
some not-so-well-documented ML dialect, and we are done. Yay!
