I was looking for something like this recently.  In particular, I need
something that can take tabular data and dump it as XML.  Thanks for
doing it for me!  In your to do list, you mention handling > symbols.
If you do this work before I do, don't forget < (&lt;), & (&amp;), "
(&quot;), and ' (&#39;).

My particular need is to fabricate XML out of thin air rather than
read and modify a source document.  How would you recommend I do so in
order to preserve the well-formedness of the Lua table?

   Thanks,
