I have yet to become really comfortable with xml - I think because it
is more flexible than I want it to be.   I have done what you
describe, but I have no clue how well I did it.

I wrote this originally as proof of concept, then turned it into a
demo for a talk:

then I used what I learned here:

feel free to ask questions, it is how we learn.
