Hah, you find SQLFairy too whimsical but not Xmldoom?

As for XML::Torque being a universal standard, I hardly see how that
is true.  Yes it's another open source project, but it's certainly not
a standard.

Either way, supporting this should not be difficult.  I'd recommend
taking the existing "xmldoom" producer/parser
(https://metacpan.org/source/DSNOPEK/Xmldoom-0.0.16/lib/SQL/Translator/Producer/XML/Xmldoom.pm
https://metacpan.org/source/DSNOPEK/Xmldoom-0.0.16/lib/SQL/Translator/Parser/XML/Xmldoom.pm)
and reworking them to work with fewer deps.  Then you may want to
release them separately with fewer deps.

I've CC'd this to the DBIC-Devel list as I am not the maintainer of
SQL::Translator and merely made the most recent release.
