The group should push on with the SAX/DOM option.  I (or Jeff) will
work on the XML schema for GXL.  I know the DTD pretty well and
the various design decisions behind it. Jeff has worked with
XML schema.

Can you send me links to the various packages that you're working
with, e.g. the data bindings, schema validator?  Thanks!
