It's not difficult to design an XML renderer that allows dynamic
modification of named (well formed) subdocuments. Surely the interest of
such a thing is bigger than the haskell scope (because a server would be
useable by many languages), and smaller than the haskell GUI scope
(because here we are looking for a quick and not so bad solution).

I mentioned it for those who wish to reimplement a backend from scratch,
since I would like the advantages of such a solution, but I see that
Ports and GTK are taking precedence :)
