(** [tag xdata] returns the tag value of the xml node.
 Raise {!Xml.Not_element} if the xml is not an element *)
val tag : xml -> string

(** [pcdata xdata] returns the PCData value of the xml node.
 Raise {!Xml.Not_pcdata} if the xml is not a PCData *)
val pcdata : xml -> string

(** [attribs xdata] returns the attribute list of the xml node.
 First string if the attribute name, second string is attribute value.
 Raise {!Xml.Not_element} if the xml is not an element *)

(** [attrib xdata "href"] returns the value of the ["href"]
 attribute of the xml node (attribute matching is case-insensitive).
 Raise {!Xml.No_attribute} if the attribute does not exists in the node's
 attribute list
