I love those...

It buys your ticket into the universe of XML processing and editing
tools. And it gives you a free seat in the buzzword train as well!

Unfortunately, far mor people on this planet have heard about XML,
but never about Python. And the vast majority who can't type valid
XML code directly into silly Notepad, say, can at least rely on the
tools helping them to create valid files.

Apart from all that, what you describe should not be very difficult
to implement, maybe as an additional interface to PythonPoint, but
then I'd like to see some conversion functions between these two
representations as well...

Regards,

Dinu
