/**
 * @file XML.hpp
 *
 * This header provides XML classes to build an XML tree as well as functions
 * to serialize that XMl tree to text. We do not support the full XML
 * specification (like described here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ ) but only
 * a small subset. This subset is defined by the following context-free grammar:
 *
 * NODE       := ELEMENT | string
 * ELEMENT    := START NODES END
 * NODES      := NODE NODES | epsilon
 * START      := < name ATTRIBUTES >
 * ATTRIBUTES := ATTRIBUTE ATTRIBUTES | epsilon
 * ATTRIBUTE  := key = "value"
 * END        := </ name >
 *
 * where the Axiom of a document is "Element". Note that we accept only a
 * singular root element and no primitive text at root level. Attributes are
 * key-value pairs of strings. Start and end tag name have to match.
