_Some_ of the same purpose, yes. But HSXML does follow the
S-expression syntax -- something that has not been attained in
Haskell. Here's a sample HSXML:
[p "Haskell is a general purpose,"
[[em [[strong "purely"]] "functional"]] "programming language"]
one may observe the absence of any commas and other list
delimiters. The things in square brackets can't be lists anyway
because their `elements' patently have different types. The strings
are represented as strings rather than (text "string") etc. The `p'
element obviously can have arbitrary number of subelements and
strings. On a Scheme system that takes square brackets (which is the
R6RS behavior) the above expression can be read with one `read' call
-- proving that HSXML is an S-expression.
