[antlr-interest] An ANTLR-based XMI translator

Hi,
I need to construct a program that will translate UML models specified
in XMI into language 'X'. I already have an ANTLR-based parser for
language X that generates a CommonTree as an intermediate form. I also
have a TreeWalker that uses StringTemplate to emit valid X given an AST
in this intermediate form. I currently use these two components to
implement a pretty-printer for language X. I was thinking that I could
implement an ANTLR parser that would take XMI models as input and
generate some (different) intermediate form AST. I would then
implement a TreeWalker to convert this AST into the intermediate form
AST for language X. This would allow me to use my existing emitter to
output the model in language X.
1) Does this sound like a reasonable strategy?
2) Is anyone aware of an existing ANLTR3 grammar for XMI?
3) Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Cameron.
