These were my thoughts as well.  I'm a big fan of the "Single
Responsibility Principle", and I'd say Eina has more than one
responsibility at present. Eina may mean tool... I don't think it means

in their pocket.

Maybe a new Markup Language lib?  For parsing all markup languages we
see fit to support?  Just a thought.
