I like you advice. I've looked at your library and it's conciseness and
lack of dependencies pleases me. 

BTW, I need to save some short binary data in the XML format (e.g. MD5
128bits hash). Therefore, I would like to transform from/to an OCaml
binary string type into a string suitable for printing in an XML file
(in a CDATA field). Which code would you recommend to do that the "XML
way"?  At first sight, I intend to use Gerd's code to encode/decode MIME
and base64 strings.

As another side note, I also intend to read and write gziped XML files,
using Xavier's camlzip package. As your module uses Lexing.from_* to get
input file, I'll probably add an SFunction source type to be able to use
Lexing.from_function. In the same way, I'll probably modify your output
functions (Xml.to_string) to be able to ouput into a Gzip.out_channel
without producing the whole XML file in a string.

I'll gladly accept any advice on how to use your code,
Yours,
d.
