	This DTD looks simple to implement, requiring just a bunch of
changes to the existing marshal.py.  However, I'd like to make the
data structure -> LDO -> data structure transformation not lose any
information, so I'd like to agree on certain coventional values for
the 'type' attribute, such as integer, float, 'tuple' for the list
element, etc.  Do you think it's possible to nail that down now, or is
it premature?

This is, after all, a book about reading, and the kind of reader I am
addressing does not care primarily about being in fashion.
