yet another train ride... thomas suggested something similar to this way back, 
and now it's possible: XiMpLe just gained a new method for objects of class 
XiMpLe.validity, to generate XML generators from it.

that is, you call XMLValidity() to define the valid node structure, including 
all child nodes and attributes, and the method XMLgenerators() turns that into 
functions that will generate valid XML. it includes documentation for each 
function in roxygen format, if you say so.

there's still some drawbacks. but i was able to contruct a full set of over 50 
documented functions that cover the entire TCF format[1], after defining it 
with XMLValidity() (~100 lines of code).
