Agreed, but is it VERY easy to go from HT/XML to
Scheme.  Take a look at the xml package.  The idea is
brilliant.  Once in Scheme you can do all the munging
you want to.  E.g. replace tags with Scheme code.  
The match package is great for this kind of stuff. 
You could probably do something way funky with
dynamically loaded units and macros to get lexical
scoping. 

And going in the opposite direction is just easy. 
This is what MoshiMoshi does.
