Proceed with caution. As a general rule, you cannot pretty-print an
SGML or XML document without knowing the schema (lowercase S)
associated with it. That's because the significance of whitespace is
not apparent from the tags along, only from the content models.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
