Last year I found this one:

Using XML as an Intermediate Form for Compiler Development
http://www.idealliance.org/papers/xml2001/papers/html/03-05-04.html

It is totally acceptable if you do the coding in C.
But you should at least consider other languages.
When reading, transforming and writing XML, the canonical
approach probably is to use XSL. The XSL Cookbook contains
interesting examples:
