There are certainly perl and python modules that handle this type
of conversion quite easily.  My guess is that it's automatic when
using their XML tools.

FWIW: I wrote my first python script yesterday that does Real
Work(tm), a ``script (python)'' for Zope that handles parameter
checking from a web form, then either sends an email message or
comes back to the form with appropriate error messages.  I'm not
ready to give up perl yet, but python certainly seems to be the
way to go using Zope and Plone for web sites.

I'm almost ready to go public with our new site and welcome
comments on it,  https://www2.celestial.com, and the Seattle Unix
Group experimental site which I put together in about 15 minutes is
here, http://www2.seaslug.org.

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science
requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.
