I think we are, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle might write, at cross-purposes.
I believe the idea behind /proc is to allow anyone access to ASCII data
regarding the kernel, including being easily readable by humans. My point
was that the data in /proc should be easily parseable with a simple
mechanism such as a shell script as well. I think Mike Porter was on the
right track.
If you want to take the stuff in /proc and present it as XML or HTML in a web
page is completely up to you - in fact, it's a cool idea. But the data itself
in /proc shouldn't be in XML or any other sort of specialized format.
