Okay, the person who did his idea of what XPL should look like is a 
good idea, but....  The language should be simple meaning it should
be 
basic and easy to use.  Here are some tags I made up, only two of
them 
have explanations, the rest should be self explanitory, if someone 
would like to write the explanations for the tags go ahead and do it.:

XPL is a XML-based programming language.  It should be simple to use 
so that anyone can learn it and add to it, if the need to do so is 
required.  It will be a compiled language, so that when someone 
updates the DTD the compiler will be scalable so it will recognise
the 
new tag(s) [if this is possible].  Here are some of the tags (all
tags 
attributes and their values MUST be in lowercase):

<xpl></xpl>; The XPL program will be written between these two tags.

<include content="xpl.dtd" version="x.x"/ >; This will be a stand 
alone tag that is required!  X is the number of the version.  As of 
this moment none of the other tags have attributes, but that will 
change.  Also, right now this is the only stand alone tag.

<comment></comment>; Anything between these two tags will be 
completely ignored by the compiler.
