+%
+% SAVE_SINFO_XML saves a submission info struct to a simple XML file.
+%
+%  CALL:   sinfo = utils.helper.save_sinfo_xml(file)
+%
+% The XML file should have a main node called 'submission_info'. Then all
+% sub-nodes supported by the sinfo fields will be read.
+%
+% For example:
+%
+% <submission_info>
+%   <experiment_title>
+%   some nice experiment we can use
+%   </experiment_title>
+%   <experiment_description>
+%   Some nice experiment we did with some crazy results.
+%   But sometimes it takes a new line to describe in detail.
+%   </experiment_description>
+% </submission_info>
+%
+% Supported fields:
+%
+% 'experiment_title'
+% 'experiment_description'
+% 'analysis_description'
+% 'quantity'
+% 'keywords'
+% 'reference_ids'
+% 'additional_comments'
+% 'additional_authors'
