Description

Currently, Xml_iter is very crude and not very used. I would like to both improve the functionality and deprecate the current interface.

We can do that by providing a way to export to lambdasoup. I would prefer to do it while not actually depending on lambdasoup, so some structural thing would be nice.
This would also potentially provide us with a good streaming printer, when one is added to lambdasoup.

Research direction

Start by reading the current Xml_iter interface and its callers, then review the structural representation needed for export to lambdasoup without adding a dependency. Done means the new export path supports the requested functionality and the existing interface can be deprecated, with streaming-printing compatibility considered.
