OK, I'm an English national so maybe I'm not your target audience, but 
just wondered whether or not you'd checked out SuperX++ 
<http://xplusplus.sourceforge.net/index.htm>?  It's an OOPL written 
entirely in XML syntax.  I came across this originally in 
comp.lang.lisp, where someone posted it claiming it was a fantastic 
example of a language with a strange syntax and little practical use. 
As this came from a hardened LISP developer I thought it might in fact 
be quite elegant and well-structured ;-)

Usual rants about off-topicness still apply.
