The primary goal of the XML format is to be easily readable by other
programs, which is why I tried to keep the number of tags to an absolute
minimum.  The easiest way to partially fill the floor is in fact to use
the row tag, and I would generally like to keep it that way.

I would really like to use a "real" XML parser like expat instead of the
simple mockup parser that is currently in use.  :-( Maybe I should add
this as a project to the "help wanted" page on the Enigma home page!
