This looks okay, pretty much what I'm doing with XML myself.

One thought, when parsing through the lua table representaion of the XML 
tree, such as your xpairs function, it's worth standardising on checking 
for type == 'table' instead of type == 'string' as the data could be a 
number type or some userdata (I use an ICU binding so I can get my 
stings into various code pages and UTF forms for example). Might be 
worth putting in a function like:

function istag(x)
   return type(x) == 'table'
end

just to help keep that distinction.
