Well.. I hope my english will be enough to express, what I
mean:

I'm thinking of creating a framework for analysis of
corpses of text (like the Bible is). 
I want to create a set of basic functions like "extract a
vocabulary of given portion of a text", - result wold be a
list of words - or "find all occurences of words listed in
given list of words", that would return simple tree 
(words->occurences) and so on.

It seems me a good idea to represent all these lists and
trees as a xml-tree (and sipmle texts), since it can be
simply dumped into a xml file, or parsed by a graphical
viewer.
