You have built some questionable assumptions into your reality
check, and need to define your acronyms:

	MLL -- is this a machine level language?
	MIIL -- is this a machine independent intermediate language,
		and if so, at what level of expressive power, and is
		it any different than the MLL?  How?

I beleive in such a thing as a MOL, a machine oriented language, and
in a high level machine oriented language which is portable.  It is
possible to do MUCH better than C.
