I'm not sure what RYO is.

RYO is a TLA for "roll your own".

All I was saying here is that I have in the past rolled my own XML parsing in both C and Assembler, and doing so was quicker and easier in C than in Assembler. Having said that, it didn't take long to realize that it was much easier to use an off-the-shelf parser than to roll my own in either language.
