Of course!  You'll love this project!  It'll be super fun and totally
cool!

Take a look at this page:

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/xmlfs.html

The Hurd has an xml translator!  How cool is that?  You can mount an xml
file, and use standard coreutils to access the file?

image running:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ settrans -a /hurd/xmlfs /path/to/xml/file.xml
$ cd file.xml
$ ls
head
body
$ cd body
$ ls
div
h1
p
footer
#+END_SRC

Do you see the problem?  There is no guide on that webpage about how to
do it!

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/xmlfs.html

You have to know about this page to learn how to use it:

http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/#xmlfs

Specifically this file:

http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/hurdextras/xmlfs/README

You could write up a web guide to put on the Hurd website here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/xmlfs.html

You can change that xmlfs.html file to say:

The xmlfs translator does this and that, and it's terribly cool and you
should try it right now!  Do these command to play with it:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
your commands here
#+END_SRC

If you do this, and Samuel commits the change, then I will consider
uploading a silly video of me dancing and congratulating you!
