I've just tried to collate a few XML-DEV resources relating to
this topic.

March 97. "A Simple API".

http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/xml-dev-Mar-1997/0189.html

The relevant example being:
"SGML Groves: A Partial Illustrated Example"
http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~ht/grove.html

JamesC, posts a 'ReallySimple' API based on groves, which is what
Peter is referring to above.
