Meh, I'm written with a single 'l' :P

Anyhow, can't you use nested contexts to emulate a tree?

You need contexts. I've just added preliminary namespace support to PHP, maybe 
that helps you?

Could you explain that a bit more? What would be the two documents? Do they 
actually have different "languages"? Or is it simply two XML chains? The latter 
works even now...
