The problem is that an interface this simple doesn't actually work. What 
happens when you add a field, but that field already exists? Do you add a
second instance of that tag (explicitly allowed by the spec), or do you
replace the current one? Obviously, both behaviours will be needed at
different times, and so the 'simple' interface can't be quite so simple. 

It'd also be useful to have an interactive mode (though this might be better
in a seperate tool).
