Pretty much everything you've mentioned here is possible with REXML 
already.  The only thing I can see that isn't possible is the built-in XML 
syntax.  I can't see how hard-wiring XML as a part of Ruby's syntax 
provides much of a benefit at all.  It would be fashionable (though not 
really all that fashionable these days), but barring that it's just more 
baggage to carry around.

Interesting in the same way that Lojban is interesting 
(http://www.lojban.org). :)

# So now we've
# 1) done what javascript might be doing but totally 
# trumped them with (ruby)style.
# 2) added a feature that python and perl can only wish
# for

Are we playing sports or writing programming languages?  I didn't know it 
was a competition.  Who are the enemies?  Is anyone on our team?

# 3) created an internal common data structure that is
# similar to the array, hash and struct but is sometimes
# better and certainly more portable/readable.

more readable?  
<list><item>blah</item><item>blah2</item><item>lkjsdf</item></list> 
vs. 
["blah", "blah2", "lkjsdf"]

# 4) now a native type, we can import/export data to
# whatever speaks xml without worrying about
# implementation.

With REXML in the distribution you can already do this.  Just requires a 
few more keystrokes.

# 5) have an inherent mechanism for seperating duties
# <important>within code</important>- ie data from style

But you've now joined a data representation format to a language.  Where 
would you rather have coupling?

No offense intended, but I hope not :)
