[developers] PET XML input and [incr tsdb()]

I think if you create the xml without any end-of-line markers and
whack it into the right field of the item file, instead of the plain
sentence, then call a tsdb cpu with the right options to cheap it will
just work (although tsdb's word counting will get confused).
