The VFS represents tags as directories; the directories are numbered to
collected in a file named "text", stripped and reencoded. The filesystem is
read-only.
+Implementation based on minidom doesn't understand namespaces, it just shows
+them among other attributes. ElementTree-based implementation doesn't show
+namespaces at all. Implementation based on lxml.etree shows namespaces in a
+separate file "namespaces".

It is useful to have a top-down view on an XML structure but it's especially
convenient to extract text values from tags. One can get, for example, a
base64-encoded image - just walk down the VFS to the tag's directory and copy
