Henry - this sounds pretty interesting. We've talked previously about
using XSLT for this (ie. Cambridge Communique type stuff). Could you say a
little more about the approach you're taking, how it differs from
XSLT etc? Does the notion of 'more declarative' make sense here? Might
this provide a 'more declarative' mechanism than XSLT for going from XML
trees to application structures...?
