You are preonbably better using your parseers escape/unescape

Define separate? There are several options in the standard library.
All will be more effective than trying to do it by hand.
And libxml2dom is not one of them (at least I've never
seen it before) so you appear to be breaking your own rules?

import libxml2dom as ql

You may have over-simplified a tad, it has become fairly
meaningless to us - what are 'a' and 'tpath'?
