XML and Plists

[Bill]

I agree. I am writing a complex XML export for the Coast Guard reports and I
tried using various XML programs as well as REV XML library and it is faster
(and makes clearer output) to use string functions in REV and manually put
the whole thing together. But I am also not a good one to ask as I don't
really get the point of the whole nodes and tree things and just treat it as
data with labels instead.
