I'm pretty sure that could be done with iXML, but:
    - I'm already using iXML in production to check generated phrases for
      conformance to a grammar
    - that was MUCH simpler than a generalized XML parser seems likely to be
    - it was still a lot of work
    - I doubt I can convince my boss it's work I should be doing
