 I could see a few cases where this could be useful, but I like the
event-based structure of XML::Parser. This module really requires you to
know the layout of the document first (Of course, if there's a DTD, you
could just parse that and use it as a template for code generation).

 I was playing a bit with XML::Parser a couple of weeks ago, and it's
very cool to be able to say "Everytime you encounter a <chapter>
element, do this". You could do the same thing with the above, but you
would end up with like fifty nested loops (although I was just reading
about the concept of buillding factory objects, which would fit in well
there).
