Hi Frederico,
first off, thank you for putting time into resurrecting the XML import/export facility. I'll happily review your patches and incorporate them into the main line once you think that they work well enough.

II've been reading former revisions in order to understand the changes, and there was a quite large rework some time ago. Of particular importance is that it *seems* (and, again, the compounding of my poor grasp of Lisp, XML, SAX and programming in general could be at work here...) that the way to use it was actually going to change in terms of the exporter: whereas before write-to-xml was self-sufficient in terms of generating output (as in the tutorial), I've noticed that code re-factoring seems to indicate that with-xml-export/with-xml-export* would be the entry point for a user. What's leading me to this conclusion is the fact that the cxml sink is only created in those macros.
I really can't remember what my plans were at the time, so if you can come up with an idea how the user interface should look like (or chose either of the two), I'd appreciate it. It may be that my wish to change the interface was related to memory usage with larger stores.
Thanks! Hans
