Sure one can do that. I just happen to have code laying around already
that already handles the xml. I wrote it long ago, thinking of
something like Glade, but for Tk instead of Gtk. I never used it
though. So I was just wondering if anyone wanted it.

I hear Tk is going to get a native look-and-feel face-lift by the way.
That could be interesting.
