  That's an excellent point - passing around a tokenized form of an XML
document to simplify parsing is a reasonable idea.  Personally, I'd just
use the Pyxie format <http://www.pyxie.org/>, as it's *VERY* easy to
produce and to parse again, and has the tremendous advantage of still
being plain-text, so it's easy to debug and test.
