> I created a small tool 'Xml2Line'. 'Xml2Line' will take standard input

>    <tag1 attribute="value">
>      <tag2 attribute="value">data</tag2>

> I don't know how much useful this output format is, but like to get
> inputs from the experts to find the best format for other unix line
> commands(especially 'grep') to operate on XML data.
