With IDL 8, it does not seem too difficult to write such a general
parser to generate a hash. Or, for something more complicated to
write, a class that inherited from the DOM class and presented a hash-
like interface through overloaded [].

Building a structure as the tree is parsed would always be awkward,
and the result would be difficult to edit if it involved removing
fields. But still there are situations where a structure would be more
desirable as the end product, so that is one example of the need for a
routine to create a structure from a hash, but I do not know if one
will be provided.
