A quick (prototype) exporter demoing Nicolas's proposal could be
developed by using my new org-html.el in under few hours.

Think of it this way: If something could be XML-ified it could be
lispified. My exporter already has a common core that emits html and odt
and it is a matter of altering few callbacks so that it generates a
lispy list instead of XML.
