This looks useful, thanks.  However, ISC has chosen to change some
tags in 9.6.0rc1 (nsstats -> nsstat, zonestats -> zonestat, resstats ->
resstat).  Unfortunately, they didn't bump the version of their XML
schema (it's still reported as 1.0 in the <isc> tag), so it's hard to
do right.  I hope this is going to be fixed in the final 9.6.0
release.
