Yes. That's what I think.
I asked for a way to search content in XML tags, and this is what's been
implemented, by using MetaName info.

Correct.

My start point was how to use <XML>tags. This means my docs to search for
are
valid XML documents. This means that there is no need for the XML doc to
contain
a <BODY> tag.
>What happens if there's an open <FOO> and no </FOO> found?
In that case there is something wrong with the XML doc.
Every <START> tag needs a </START> tag. In XML though, you can combine
both in a <START/> tag.

At this moment, it will just work for -w"bar=inside".
It doesn't work for -w "foo=inside" and that's a pity, I hope it'll do that
too. (*)

For the same reason as prior (*), I hope it finds "inside" in <FOO>

I think it's a good idea to make difference in strict MetaName info and Xml
info.
Good idea to define different directives.
