the more I think about this it seems like something like:
<cond type="arch">
<case value="ia32">
</case>
<case value="ia64">
</case>
<default>
</default>
</cond>
is the more correct choice. We just have to add the logic to nALFS to choose
the right tag matching the value parameter.
Dynamically adding xml tags will cause pain, that is not how xml is supposed
to work.
