Of course, Liam, but of course the BaseX format has its escaping rules, so that it works *always*. The names become less beautiful here and there, but in practise a couple of warped names among hundreds of nice and meaningful ones are better than meaningless names throughout.
It's subjective I think. We did have some feedback on the design of the XML/XDM representation for JSON. [...]
I hope the W3C will come up with a meaningful format definition, comparable to the BaseX one. I don't see that happening - the XQuery and XSLT work is essentially finished except for bug fixes at this point.
