Isn't that the one used in Gimp?  It's similar to Guile, I think.
My apologies for not following the discussion closely, but if it's
lisp vs xml, I'd vote for lisp, and even promise to provide the
C side of the tie-in.

And Guile, in my opinion, would be a great choice for either problem;
I think it is presented as "an extension language" -- the scripting
business comes for free, and wasn't to the point anyway.

But XML seems to be everywhere -- so is Windows...
