You seem to have thrown out the boundary white space here. Is this
representation capable of handling mixed content in a natural way? i.e.
is this syntactically correct?
(tag (@ (attr1 "value1") (attr2 "value2"))
(nested "Text node")
"More text"
(empty)
"Hmm, what should we do about
line breaks?"
)
Also important: is the encoding for this representation some form of
Unicode?
