Hi all,

for what it is worth, I have recently started to write an XML parser in
Clean (a validating one, and as conforming as I can get it). While doing
so, I will write code to convert the parsetree back to XML, just to see
that I am doing things the right way. I don't know exactly how long this
will take me, as this is the next fun thing to do at home (after writing a
JPEG decoder). Anyway: I am planning to publish the code in due time.

(And yes, I know about PXP, FXP, HaXml and plenty of C(++) implementations)

cheers!
