Do any cduce developers want to give me a clue here?  It would seem
like I need something along these lines:

  let devs = match xml with
    | {{ <domain>[<devices>[<source dev=(String & dev) ..>[]]] }} -> dev
    | {{ <domain>[<devices>[<source file=(String & file) ..>[]]] }} -> file in

However according to the compiler, devs has type <XML>.  In any case,
I think I may need either the map or map* operator, since I want to
match all, not just the first one.
