You seem to have thrown out the boundary white space here. Is this 
representation capable of handling mixed content in a natural way? i.e. 
is this syntactically correct?

  (tag (@ (attr1 "value1") (attr2 "value2"))
    (nested "Text node")
    "More text"
    (empty)
    "Hmm, what should we do about
     line breaks?"
  )


Also important: is the encoding for this representation some form of 
Unicode?
