Very nice!

Maybe this should be written as a new XMLTestHarness class?
Although I don't really see a problem with just tagging it on the
SimpleTestHarness. Opinions anybody?

Are you sure the XML escaping is always correct?
Maybe it doesn't really matter in this case, but you might want to look
whether GNU Kawa (http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/) has something
appropriate in the gnu.xml package.

Thanks for doing this. Having easy to compare mauve results is very
valuable.

Cheers,

Mark
