FWIW, it seems that a better term for the concept you describe would be 
"semantic binding language", since presentation isn't actually involved 
anywhere. In the same vein CSS would be a "presentation binding language" and 
XBL roughly a "behavior binding language". Having said that, I'm not sure I 
follow the point that you are trying to make.
