+<li><b>XML Representation of ASTs</b>: Clang maintains a rich Abstract Syntax Tree that describes the program. Clang could emit an XML document that describes the program, which others tools could consume rather than being tied directly to the Clang binary.The XML representation needs to meet several requirements:
+  <ul>
+    <li><i>General</i>, so that it's able to represent C/C++/Objective-C abstractly, and isn't tied to the specific internal ASTs that Clang uses.</li>
+    <li><i>Documented</i>, with appropriate Schema against which the output of Clang's XML formatter can be verified.</li>
+    <li><i>Stable</i> across Clang versions.</li>
+  </ul></li>
