What I have in mind is being able to save an PDF file in XML format and then
exactly recreate that PDF from the XML.  Does anyone else see the need for
this?

To date, there are some fundamental pieces missing from the XML.  For
example, the document size is not stored with the XML.  By extending the
Document class and using the MarkupAttributes I can add new values to, for
example, the ITEXT tag.  (Not sure what the MarkupAttributes were originally
meant for and if this will conflict with anything.)

Another area is the direct use of PdfContentByte.  I figure I can write out
XML to reconstruct the calls to PdfContentByte as well.

Any thoughts on this?
