Excellent, that sounds like a great suggestion, I'll try poking around the 
Dart server.

I'm rather XML ignorant about such things as a different between an XSD and 
a DTD, and how exactly this stuff generates an Object model, and what this 
object model is.  Does this mean that one could auto-generate something 
like a C++ class/interface straight from something like an XSD?  If so, 
that would be *great*.  (I may be reflecting how little I work with our 
Xerces interface in our existing XML parsing code.)  Can anyone care to 
point me where I can learn about such stuff (eg, XSDs and diffs between 
DTDs, etc), and my project can possibly help with this effort if we 
continue this endeavor?  (Some of my staff may already know this, but I 
personally don't.)
