Can anyone tell me if a high-pressure mixture of xenon and oxygen would
be breathable.

The reason I am asking this is that it should be possible to create a mixture
with density just above that of water.

Now - if this mixture is breathable - it should be possible to float around in
this. Just imagine it - we would finally be able to fly like the birds. :-)
