I didn't really "expect" to find it, but I thought there was a good
chance
something similar enough existed to make it more cost-effective to
modify
instead of starting over.

What we have now is 

ASIS --> little pieces of XML files.

Because the little pieces are concatenated in a "flat"
sequence, i.e., by sequential code that has not concept
of nesting, and because there is no coupling among the
routines that generate the little pieces, it is very easy
for maintenance to introduce bugs that result in
bogus stuff like

  <tag1 name="value"
     <tag2
        <tag3
     />
  </tag1>

So, it looks like I'm going to have to write it myself.
Won't be that hard, but I was just trying for the
Ben Franklin approach.
