# DO NOT RELY ON THIS AS A REAL XML PARSER!

# It is not intended to be used actually as an XML parser, simply to stand as
# an example of how you might use Parser::MGC to parse an XML-like syntax

# There are a great many things it doesn't do correctly; it lacks at least the
# following features:
#   Entities
#   Processing instructions
#   Comments
#   CDATA
