[Xerte] XML loading

[Tenney Julian]

If you wanted to get at the events right off an XML object, I'd have to
subclass the native XML class and override the onLoad method. It would
give a class in xerte called, say, xXML, and I think you'd then be able
to hook up event handlers to it. I've not found a need to do this so far
though, and I've not tried it.
 
It is rare to need to load up two or more xml files for a piece. The
engine already handles loading up one file quite nicely as the LO
initialises through the templateData property,

Aha, cool.
 
I just didn't want to use something that would bust in the interpreter
or something.
 
Figures I would stumble across something like this on the first try,
before I knew what the obvious answer was, :-/
