Hi,

I'm thinking of releasing XML::Shorthand to CPAN and would like some feedback.

I built the SVG modules around a shorthand version of the XML DOM tree that 
uses a streamlined, small-footprint version in order to maximise speed and 
decrease line count on my code (lazyness and hubris...). The modules support 
the full DOM command set, have a parser implementation, and are fairly fast 
(I benchmarked them at 12,000 elements/second on a 500MHz/512MB Ram linux 
server about year ago).

Since then, I've ended up using the SVG module to perform a number of other 
XML tasks for clients (usually centered around parsing or generating simple 
XML content).

For a quick look at what is provided, take a look at SVG::Manual on CPAN.

Because it seems to be a backwards approach to use a module designed for a 
specific vocabulary of XML (SVG) to generate general XML, I've been thinking 
for some time about extracting the generic part of the SVG module and 
building a generic XML set of modules 

Does anyone have any comments/objections to this lazy guy's XML module?

And what should it be called?

XML::Lazy
XML::Shorthand
XML::Ronan
XML::Tiny

Points of view and feedback would be highly apprciated.

Ronan
