Given this XML:
XML: {<?xml version="1.0"?>
<document>
<h>Heading</h>
<p class="Initial">Hi this is a <b>bold</b> paragraph.</p>
<p>this is a <span>stuff</span> paragraph</p>
</document>
}
'Load-XML produces:
[xml [#version "1.0"] document [h "Heading" p [#class "Initial" "Hi this is
a" b "b
old" "paragraph."] p ["this is a" span "stuff" "paragraph"]]]
Which is OK for text processing, I feel.

I haven't seen this before now. Is it something you've just thought of (and
so we can change it to better suit Rebol and users)? Or is this related to
some XML standard?
If it's something we can change, I think I'd like to see it as:
<?Rebol [print 3.14159]?>
Or perhaps I've misunderstood?
I tried your example:
XML: {
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc>
here's some text
<p>para 1</p>
<p>para 2</p>
here's some more text
<p:p xmlns:p="http://www.uris.org/p">not a para</p:p>
</doc>
}
and discovered that 'Load-XML doesn't handle tags in a name-space. :(
