Re:  XML Redux
The role of xml() is simply to disambiguate the content within the block as being XML rather than being text. In a JSON filter without any XML namespace awareness, it would become the responsibility of the client to parse the XML into some kind of DOM representation, in JAXON this would be a flag used to identify this as intentionally xml content. Otherwise, you would need to know a-priori that this was an XML property, which rather defeats the whole process.

I don't understand what the purpose of the "xml(...)" wrapper is.
It doesn't make the JAXON valid Javascript+E4X, and it doesn't remove
any ambiguity in the parsing, so why have it?
