Yes, this wasn't intended as the final patch. If it's not wanted right
now, that's fine too. I just wanted to get it on the record as possibly
something useful when we do come to reconsider the whole mess. Getting
to grips with the libxml2 API is no fun, and it's better not to have to
repeat it if possible ;-)

The tokens were chosen with some care to be such that no whitespace
tolerance would be needed (or correct). XML is case sensitive, so that's
not an issue either.
