Yeah, but I don't think I want the overhead of a real XML parser. I don't
think my data stream is going to be so complex as to need it.

I do like the idea of doing this to offload scripted player/AI code to work
without bloating the server. But I don't think it's going to take XML.
I've been playing with the idea of about 200-byte packets, but I don't have
a packet structure I like yet.
