Could we see some solid code please?
Something _very_ general:
	1, I have an xmlNodePtr, how do I fill a gchar* with its
content/the value of one of its properties?
	2, I have a gchar* that I know nothing about, how do I save it as
the content/the value of one of the properties of an xmlNodePtr?

I think this would really make the transition easy.
