MTML Pull-Parser Data Table

This is an example of using a form of simplified XML, a none compliant 
SGML similarity, that only requires that tag sets start and end inside 
the same document. That makes this MTML compliant. So says me, the 
inventor of it.

Elements can contain multi-line text, Binary image data, or just about 
anything that can be expressed with characters. You could even build 
spreadsheet functions that could display results if you wanted to keep 
going beyond this example. Tag sets in this example could be 
transformed to function as keys for array manipulation. (requires a 
needed function)

Paste this into the message window:
go URL "http://www.gizmotron.org/revolution/mtmlDataTable.rev"

This thing uses a pull-parser function to get single-use XML element 
type data.
Tag-sets are configured ( row & "," & column ), example: 
"<1,1>data</1,1>."

This MTML Pull-Parser Data Table example is declared public-domain. 
Feel free to add to this work in any way that improves the example.
