  Yeah, the scope is quite larger, sounds fun and I think it should appeal
the CLI oriented community of developpers and people needing XML (or HTML ?)
scripting capabilities. The examples including the web site building script
are quite appealing. Maybe you should add to the examples what I expect to
be the single command used to save a document.
There is also a concept of "current document" (f starting from bullet 2,
but which could be g after 7) apparently, the current document to which
commands applies 
  open f=mydoc.xml
doesn't make clear that f is now the current document.
  Nice work :-)
