--- XML LOM Utilities.
--
-- This implements some useful things on [LOM](http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/lom.html) documents, such as returned by `lxp.lom.parse`.
-- In particular, it can convert LOM back into XML text, with optional pretty-printing control.
-- It is s based on stanza.lua from [Prosody](http://hg.prosody.im/trunk/file/4621c92d2368/util/stanza.lua)
--
--     > d = xml.parse "<nodes><node id='1'>alice</node></nodes>"
--     > = d
--     <nodes><node id='1'>alice</node></nodes>
--     > = xml.tostring(d,'','  ')
--     <nodes>
--        <node id='1'>alice</node>
--     </nodes>
--
-- Can be used as a lightweight one-stop-shop for simple XML processing; a simple XML parser is included
-- but the default is to use `lxp.lom` if it can be found.
