Mainly because my processor is a kind of programming exercise.
Secondly I think there could be a right to exist for a processor that
operates on a lower level than XSL and is easier to learn, at least
for my needs.

This isn't really more easy to read or edit...

This is an interesting approach but not suitable for my case as the
content of <start></start> is not supposed to be correct xml in all
cases. Internally it is interpreted and processed as pure text.

Maybe I'll just use Python dictionaries but don't think it would be
the ideal solution...

Thanks again.
