Maybe. The difference in our case is that preprocessing can be done
once during development because we know all the xsd the program will
be working with. But postprocessing should be done everytime the
program produces xml on the end user machine. So preferably it should
be a part of the C++ program, while preprocessing we can do with a
script once during development. Anyhow, thank you, Boris.
