hm, I don't like the thought of having a duplicate structure, if we can 
reasonably avoid it. If users start to mix editing by hand and editing via a 
function, this will lead to inconsistencies.

No idea why there appear to be problems with the XML package on Windows, but 
given that this is a rather often-used package, I would hope that these 
problems are temporary, and the XML package can at least be used for non-
critical stuff. Or am I too optimistic, here?

Thomas
