Thanks for your posting. I don't want to sound negative, but pieces like this
need some tailoring before posting to this list, which is aimed at developers.
It's important that general news stories do not get posted to XML-DEV - if
RobinC doesn't pick them up on www.sil.org, then they either to go c.t.s. or
you make stronger bids for comp.text.xml.
A cursory reading (I find the metaphors tough going :-) suggests that EDI
(about which I know nothing :-) can provide information objects for direct
realisation in XML (?and Java), and the piece could perhaps could have been
condensed to show this.
