xml in fptools?

[S. Alexander Jacobson]

Can we talk about Haskell use cases?  It seems like we want different 
APIs for parsing, transforming, and producing XML.

Most of the time, I am less interested in XML as a datastructure per 
se than I am in converting from XML to a Haskell data type or 
producing XML from a Haskell data type.

Has anyone here played with HWSProxyGen or Haifa?
