xml2kvp, "XML to Key/Value Pairs", is the shorthand for a new class in core.models that handles the flattening of XML to ES-ready documents, with a variety of passable arguments for that process. Additionally, handling things like field --> xpath expressions, and other transformations helpful in this space.
It was becoming clear that this is a critical piece of Combine -- allowing for the generic and dynamic mapping of XML to flat documents (with multivalued fields) -- and needed to be collected and refactored from the fractured state it was in.
Furthermore, it might have value outside of Combine as a python or comamnd line utility for flattening XML to fields.
Going to leave embedded for now in core.models, and integrate, but starting this issue to come back to.
