Ok, that's one question answered, thanks ^.^

That's what I assume :)

I found the thing by following the link on the libxml2 xmlreader info page
(http://xmlsoft.org/xmlreader.html), that points to the c# interface at
( http://dotgnu.org/pnetlib-doc/System/Xml/XmlTextReader.html ),
which I followed up one node to (
http://dotgnu.org/pnetlib-doc/System/Xml/Xml.html ),
and then to ( http://dotgnu.org/pnetlib-doc/System/Xml/XmlTextWriter.html )
:).

That last link does have a document describing the api :)

I'm fairly busy too, and I'd definatly need a lot of reviewing ;) but might
be interesting to
give it a go if noone else will :)
