More precisely: I have an incomplete patch that does this for a specialised subset of HTML that I invented ad hoc for demonstrational purposes. It could be extended to support nearly any pointy-brackets format that's suitable. Thus it should be straight-forward to make it work with info XML and I have offered to do that. > 4.
