I always forget the limitations of humans when coming up with excellent
ideas. Perhaps they could read it better if we replaced some of the pointy
brackets with colons? ...Then it would look just like the "apache" axample.

"Write" I can understand ...it is nearly a screenful of code.

As for "I do not want to use an XML Parser" ...Perhaps you would if you saw
how simple they make life... not for this project, this project needs to
have a totally new standard invented for it, I understand that now ...but
for future a project where you want to save time :)
