The test cases include some round-tripping, e.g. using doXmlParseFormat.

Is there a good entry point into HaXml? I've now spent some time trying to understand it and feel like I've gotten nowhere.
The Haddock documentation enumerates what each function does, but I still don't know how to produce a valid XML document?
For example, this is obviously the wrong way to go:
simp2 = document $ Document (Prolog Nothing [] Nothing []) [] $ Elem "root" [("attr",AttValue [Left "v\"al"])] [CString False "<<<<<>>&&&"]
Because, it produces the obviously wrong:
<root attr="v"al"><<<<<>>&&&</root>
I assume/hope that the combinators properly encode/escape attribute values and CDATA, but can't figure out how to generate even the simple XML above.
And once I've done so, is there a way to put PIs in via the combinators or do I have to import Types and risk have unescaped stuff in my document?
