Oh interesting. I came up with basically the same thing as CUE (as described in [1]) on my own, except for the heavy schema stuff. I think the schema stuff is unfortunately what's going to keep it from adoption. I mean, I didn't add schema stuff explicitly in, but you can define schemas in mine, which makes it easier. But making it explicit raises the bar for an implementation and may scare people away from writing one.
