I'll be very happy to receive any feedback. + +Most probably, I'll keep this work in the branch until 1.15 is released, and +then include it in the 1.16 with the xpatch feature. + +There is no need to release it in 1.15 without any real usages. + +It was mostly made to implement xpatch feature, since it would require a lot +of xml writes, but can be also used for anything in subversion, including +cmdline with `--xml` option, and maybe even ra-serf library. + +This api will not only simplify xml writing, but also will allow several +improvements to happen. For example, it might be possible to indent xml +tags, so we will get pretty looking output out-of-box.
