It doesn't work (tried already), the point is, lib.rparsexml.parsexml0()
which is called in parsexmlSimple() returns a tuple consisting of four
members instead of a two-members tuple... I tried to catch this case and
reformat the result so the unpack works, but I don't know what the tuple
should look like... my best bet displayed the text with a "new line"
after the ampersand (although there is none).
