would any developers be interested in building Spriter support?

Hi.  I wrote a 2d animation program called Spriter, that we're funding through  Kickstarter. It's getting alot of attention for it's claims that it can be supported on any platform. A teacher using Scratch in the classroom emailed me asking if it would work on Scratch, and I did a little research on Scratch, and it definitely seems possible to make it work in a way that other people could easily use.

   I'm wondering if anyone experienced on the platform could tell me if it's possible to do the following in Scratch, and if you think it's a task one of the developers might take on. I'm going to point the teacher to this thread, so he can continue to follow if anyone decides to. 

Basically the program would just need to read xml, and use the data in the xml, simple tags like <name> <x> <y>, etc  to position a sprite called "name" at x,y?  for a time given in <duration>, then draw the next set of sprites. 

If any developers, or just anyone curious wants to learn more about the program, please go to kickstartspriter.com

I don't fully understand your question (sorry), but I can tell you that Scratch can't read xml.
