I like it! Then we could wrap it in a doc element, feed it to an normalising
SGML parser that allows start and end tag minimisation and watch it exhale a
sausage along the lines of:

<doc><p></p><p>hello </p><i></i>
<i>sweet</i><doc><p></p>
<b>world</b></doc></doc>
<doc><p>.</p></doc>

along with a whole stack of errors. It still conforms to the eleventh
commandment - "XML must be at least slightly easier to read than tea
leaves"...
