We had Yet Another Alternative Syntax for XML presented at XML Prague, under the name SML. I fear that all such efforts are doomed to failure. The benefits of the alternative syntax over XML, however much better it is, aren't great enough to justify the cost of being different. It's like improving on the QWERTY keyboard.
Except that there is a better available alternative to QWERTY called Dvorkak - I've used it for more than 15 years.
