Interesting, so there apparently is an XML library...  However, I still 
can't see a real need for that on a mote.  I've found that XML can be 
useful way to store data on a computer that is connect to a sensor 
network, but on the motes themselves I can't see why you'd want to go 
that route.  Is there a particular reason or application that led you to 
consider XML?
