Yes, there are indeed a few people here that once built some AD tools...
I have been out of this topic for quite a long time now, and I am not aware 
of anything like what you are looking for. But there is a new AD tools
developped at INRIA Sohia in the Tropics research team, written in Java, that
may use some XML. You can send an e-mail to "tapenade@sophia.inria.fr" to
know more about it.

Best regards,
