To create SXML programmatically, such as in self-documenting
programming environments, this is important.

However, when processing an SXML document, I find that `pre-post-order'
+ SXPath are such powerful tools that I don't need to traverse the tree
myself.

This gets back to the perennial XEmacs vs GNU Emacs event structure
argument ;) Do what you want, but IMO using native scheme/lisp data
structures has positive value.
