I meant the XML tags from XML-specified (and stored) user interface
components.  So, if a set of components is specified as...

  <ui owner=peep>
    <component type=plaintext>

      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

    </component>
    <component type=input>

      What color is the fox?

    </component>
  </ui>

Peep strips off the tags and prints...

  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
  What color is the fox? _

I'm not opposed to your UIL/DL API, Brad! :-)

Cheers.
