It's not only that I need to store/display nested/hierachical data -
I'm very used to use nested dicts/lists, but I'm tired of writing
specialized handlers for each of my nested data structures - too much
code duplication without compatibility...
And I don't really want to go the XML path - I guess it's much more
efficient to use methods of storage objects than to transverse some DOM.
Hm, while I think about it - I guess the DOM libraries held their
parsed data in memory, too; and for they had better programmers than
me, I should try it first. I guess I could use a DOM tree without
really using XML.
