[ccan] It was only a matter of time...

.

Well, my real motivation was to have a pure C xml parser that I could drop
into an existing project, that had no dependencies and is very small. Think
"I have 4Mb of RAM" small. It uses buffer size + final data structure
memory, and as far as I can tell it should function correctly with a buffer
as small as 3 bytes, although I found about 3k works fastest on my setup.

It's 340 lines, plus 60 lines of test harness, and doesn't leak a byte.
Malicious XML should do no worse than create extra text nodes. It also
totally ignores character sets; it's 7bit ASCII or the highway.

I figure CCAN would be the place to put it. How do we go about that?

Oh yes... I think the name for it should be TTXML... the Trivial Trusted XML
parser... emphasis on the trusted part, as dealing with random files on the
'net is done better elsewhere.
