Hi
Just checking if the reaction to cry when given XML is normal.
I thought maybe I am approaching it all wrong, using lxml largely or some
xquery to club it into submission.
See the usual goal is just to take the entire XML and push it into a database.
or in future experiment with Mongo or Hdf5 .
See its never basic xml, usually comes from some database with a walk of tables
and strange relationships.
Am I doing it wrong is there a simple way I am missing?

When the two young lads from the consultants I was working with back in
2000 found a bug with xml handling in the supplier's software I almost
ended up in tears. Why? They didn't bother reporting it, they simply
modified all their unit testing data to work around the problem, so when
we got to integration testing nothing worked at all.
