Hi Adam,

I did so right now (thanks for the hint!).
But in that file ther's only solved a case when each line of the 
verbatim text is placed in a special tag:

<verbatim>
  <line>Dit \is nogal verbatim !</line>
  <line>Dit is {nogal} verbatim !</line>
  <line>Dit is <nogal> verbatim !</line>
</verbatim>

This is trivial because you can pass the contents of each <line> element 
as an argument to the \type command ( \defineXMLargument[line]{\type} )

But this solution is unusable e.g. for longer program or configuration 
file listings, and, mainly, the DocBook DTD doesn't define such tags.
I need to process multiline verbatims enclosed in a single tag:

<programlisting>
Line 1
      Line 2
Line 3
</programlisting>

---
Of course I have some "dirty" workaround, but the result is really ugly...

\defineXMLenvironment[programlisting]{
  \bgroup
  \startpacked
  \tttf
  \obeylines\obeyspaces\obeytabs
}{
  \stoppacked
  \egroup
}

The line breaks are processed correctly. But all the tabs and spaces are 
treated as a single space. It seems the \obeyspaces and \obeytabs 
command are ignored or they do not work the way I'd expect. This will 
totally break the indentation and tabulation of the verbatim text...
