The problem with anything based on SimpleXML is this:
SimpleXML assumes, like actually quite a few XML parsers (e.g. many of those I've written, as
well as some also written pre-1996 which are still (YES!) in use) that the *ordering* of elements is
actually not that important. Otherwise, and I'm making an assumption here, the PHP coding team
(which I don't dare even touch anything as tough as "C") would have coded
interspersed text and XML tags correctly as unlabeled tags with no attributes other than
"charset='utf8'" and one value, the text.
OK, a lot of assumptions. But anyway, I've been using an extension like this in my sites for
awhile. And when I finally getting around to sharing it, I want to talk to some people who are
willing to swap some (valuable) code.
