Probably what you need would be a layer underneith what I am looking 
for, but it perhaps it is the best place to start.

Wow, that would certainly give you a great deal of flexibility! 
What I want to be able to do is manipulate pieces of an XML doc 
as objects, but perhaps having the capability you speak of needs 
to be in place first. 

I wish JAXB were further along. Has anyone played with it in an Ant 
context? The short section on JAXB in "Java Development with Ant" is
tantalizing.
