IIRC, MusicXML has a complicated way of mixing layout and abstract music information, that would make it difficult to produce fully fledged musicxml from LilyPond easily; it's perhaps best to start with a MusicXML braille reader, and see what the minimum amount of data is before for the XML to be useful.
