insert - adds a node before selected node on same level
append - adds a node after selected node on same level
subnode - creates a child

xml ed -i "/" -t elem -n "test" -v 5

does nothing.

Actually command line options for 'edit' are not finalized.
Some things are clearly missing. Ex. ability do add
attributes together with element, ablility to modify nodes
based on their current values.

I pretty much realize what is missing, the main question is
how to implement these missing functions so that it will be
easir to use and it is still readable.

I was also thinking about implementing 'edit' in similar
approach to 'select' i.e. generate xpdate document based
on command line options and implement xupdate
