Programming XML-syntax

This is a RFC that relates to the news item. http://ersoft.org/xmlProgRFC.xml -- this file will be updated from time to time.
What do you think in general of an XML syntax programming language? At first it seems stupid, but the strictness of XML could really help out with programming. Consider malloc. If you make it in an XML syntax it could do:
<malloc bytes="8090" pointer="abc">
<!-- Code here that uses abc -->
</malloc>
What happens is then at the end, the memory is freed. This makes it impossible to have memory leaks. Of course, there are times when you wouldn't want to do this, but is it nessicary?
The point of the language would be to reduce errors while programming. There are many things I am not saying here because I am currently lazy to write them, but I'll edit the post later or add a new post.

It might be good if the xml was moved to the wiki - even if it is slow.

I guess we could. I think it would be better to wait until we get the new server up and running. Well, I guess it is, we need to put php on it though. I can do it if you want. I'm assuming it wouldn't be too different from doing it on windows. Although, I had some trouble with php5. It doesn't have MySQL support built in, which was kind of a pain in windows at least.

I just thought of a really neat addition. We haven't calculated DTDs into it yet. If we have DTDs for each standard of the language, and then have all user defined functions also provide DTD information, then the validation of the program can mostly occur with current xml validators. There would have to be a little bit of extra validation for math and variables, but all the same, it is interesting.

Okay, it took a little longer than I planned, but I wanted to make it pretty  . Well it's not really pretty, but it looks clean.
Here, I set up a wiki on http://ersoft.org/erWiki
much more lightweight, but it should do the job.

Yes, that will definately do - very fast and clean. What database type does it use?

It just uses files. When you run the program it checks to see if the folder 'files' is there, if it isn't it creates it and chmods it. So it's really easy to install. Then it just chuncks files in there. I just had it name the files what there subject is. I didn't want to have to do any parsing. It doesn't have any id10t error catches tho, so if you create a subject with the same name as another, it'll just write over the old one. I guess that wouldn't be hard to fix but I didn't feel like it.
