I prefer starting with XML and converting it to a lua table using helper
functions. The advantage of XML is that you can verify the data using an
RNC schema.
i must admit that i never validate xml .. probably also because most xml
we get is invalid or has element abuse anyway so one has to look into
what one gets and act upon interferences
