  Of course libxml is both a generator and a parser ... But to be able
to generate it *needs* to understand the in-memory storage format.
If you decide to not use the libxml tree format, for whatever reason,
I don't see how libxml could "magically" understand your encoding of
the data. Try to think 2 minutes about this there is no obvious
solution for this !

  Parse error. I cannot understand this sentence...

 May I suggest people actaully *look* at what is available before starting
suggesting modifying/extending the library ? All the output routines are
available in tree.c . I also strongly suggest that if your interested going
that deep in the technical details of the library, then your should
use the CVS tree to see what is really there and not an ancient version.

  thanks,

Daniel
