But I can't think of any reason at all that you would need those sequences in the course of developing an aXML based system! They are pretty much for the plugins only, and the only use I've found for them so far is outputting complex litteral strings which contain aXML/Perl... a feature I've never needed until doing the PerlNights project.

Look, why don't I email you over a copy of the the PerlNights build as it stands right now, and then you can have a look at a proper working aXML system that renders an output very similar to PerlMonks. Then you can see why I never really gave the specials much thought at all, because I never needed to.
