I've done it in one project, my YaPIE library 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/yapie). But it's kinda ugly, and 
probably not the right way to do things, and I don't even use the 
library myself anymore (it grew out of frustration with some XML 
parsing issues, before I did a little Java and learned to use SAX).
