shouldn't we split the user interface from the maxima-kernel and provide a 
convenient interface for programs, allowing others to produce nice GUIs? 

XML makes it easy for a computer to handle data, and ensure that the data 
structure is unambiguous also it is free and platform-independent. Especially 
with MathML we would ensure possibilities to import and export to every 
serious mathematical application.
