I'm not the one who asked, but I would love to see something like  
this, not because it's more machine-friendly, but because it's a  
representation that most languages can handle.

To wit: I'm manipulating IR in Scheme.  If there was a two-way map  
between XML terms and LLVM IR, my life would be much simpler.

S-expressions would be even better, but I'm not holding my breath. :)
