Daniel,

Thanks very much for the prompt reply - it's much appreciated. I've made
the necessary change. Would you consider adding it as a runtime option?

I don't feel particularly able or inclined to make a strong case for it
as it's only really useful for me because the receiver of my XML stream
is too brain-dead to understand the short form and I guess the slight
performance hit would be unwelcome. Can you see any merit in having it
as a standard option? (well, if you don't ask you don't get - right?)
