NOTES
It might be a good idea to refactor the namespace stuff.
E.g.: if a namespace constructor took a string as a parameter, things like
> a ?>/< (NsText,"body")
would be nicer.
Together with a rename and some trickery, something like
> |< NsText "body" >< NsText "p" ?> a </> </>|
might even be possible.

Some day, XML.Light should be replaced by something better.
While doing that, it might be useful to replace String as the type of element
names with something else, too. (Of course with OverloadedStrings).
While doing that, maybe the types can be created in a way that something like
> NsText:"body"
could be used. Overloading (:) does not sounds like the best idea, but if the
element name type was a list, this might be possible.
Of course that would be a bit hackish, so the "right" way would probably be
something like
> InNS NsText "body"
but isn't that a bit boring? ;)
