Comment:

 the xml_archive code, as does all the serialization code presumes that we
 load exactly what we save.  Generally trying to make it more general never
 seemed worth the risk.  If you want to create, test and submit a patch to
 the spirit parser which would handle the </..> tags I would look at it.
 But lacking this, I'm not inclined to spend time on this.
