Yes, this is quite inconvenient.
I didn't know that the header is optional.

Great, that's a nice solution!
I would like to put it into a file "lib/xml2.l" for the next release,
crediting you as the author (name and email). Do I have your permission?
One problem, though, I still see with comments. As they are parsed on
the tag level, they won't work if they are nested somewhere else, e.g.
<hi a="1" <!-- comment --> b="2">
123
</hi>

Good question. There's no fixed procedure, but I'd like to keep control
about what goes into the basic release, to protect it from blowing up
too much (and thus being no longer "pico").
As there is no other official forum for PicoLisp, it might be acceptable
if we consider this mailing list as the authoritative platform.
Cheers,
- Alex
