   True on both counts and you would never want to handcraft a xml
   document.
   But thats not how your supposed to use it.   You want to write a tool
   in perl?
   You grab a xml lib, parse it into a perl data array to do all your work
   and then
   spit it back out as xml when you are finished. You never touch the xml.
   IC design is heading toward using xml  as a means to automate design
   creation.
   If the IP-xact group ever gets their act together you can expect to see
   it extend
   into PCA data as well.
