It sure looks like lisp/scheme sexprs.
Is there more to it than that?
By traction do you mean you have a library and/or spec and people
besides you are starting to use it? If please let us know more. The
sooner XML dies the better. :-) Can it be translated 1-to-1 to and
from XML? I think that's key for any would-be XML killer. You've got
to give the XML addicts an easy way to wean themselves off of it.
Automatic translators would be a big help.
