FORTRAN namelist input - remember? Replace with XML!

I want to use XML as a general input mechanism for scientific programs. In
the old days, say in FORTRAN, one used to use namelist input. In C/C++, one
usually wrote a custom driver. I want to use XML because it appears to make
sense. I have started using SP - and want to build a tree that I can query
(kind of like an xrdb interface) for my input parameters. But, before I
embark on this, I was wondering if 1) this makes sense, 2) someone surely has
a simple tree builder/query interface to SP already that I can use so I don't
have to write my own (none jumped out at me when I looked around).
Thanks.
Cheers,
Glenn
