A markdown grammar to XHTML was mentioned; xhtml:title ⇒ "###", -space, -text which, given the input ### socks in the desert: a poem might be intended to produce, <xhtml:title>socks in the desert: a porm</xhtml:title> A more extreme example might be converting turtle/n3 to rdf/xml, although i don't see why ixml should be expected to do that. Or, converting EQN input to MathML. But again, i view ixml as something used to enable further processing - just as Steven's motivating text has described it - so that as long as you can use XSLT or XQuery on the result i'm happy.
