First, thanks again for the response.

At the moment, I'm writing a Java connectivity solution to use for
server-side processes.  I contemplated using BEA/Apache's XmlBeans for
marshaling the data, but would need a DTD or XSchema to compile the
result objects.  If Eventful's API's featured the ability to divine
the schema programmatically (with a HTTP request), that would make my
life *much* simpler.

I could hand craft the schema modules, but it would take as much time
to do that once as it would to craft a DocumentHandler for a SAXParser
for these responses.  Fortunately, most of the methods on the API are
RPC result responses.  But even still, there's a lot of boilerplate.

Perhaps an XSchema interrogation API could be in the future...
