I'll keep that in mind.  At the moment, the indexer is using expat.  We're 
seriously considering (well, at least I am ;-) moving to using libxml2.  If 
that moment comes, we'll probably create a support program that does this 
this way in C (rather than the much more stupid Perl filter).  Meanwhile, 
the combination of xmllint and this stupid Perl filter, will work for us in 
the meantime...

Thanks for the suggestion...
