Really, I am not quite sure why Martijn originally overrided
index_html for ParsedXML.  Once you know it works that way, it's
possible to get around it.  I tried to make a Product that
subclassed ParsedXML and could not every figure out how to get to an
index_html to parse and render the XML document as I wanted it to. 
If renamed index_html in the ParsedXML product, I could get it to
work.
