I made the same suggestion some time ago in the avr-freaks forum. At that time, I thought it would be a good idea, to evaluate the xml-database at runtime, and I was told that this would be too slow. But a code generator generating C code from an xml file should be the best solution. I have wrote some code-generators (xml to C) at work, using Borland Delphi. For editing xml-files there are many good solutions, e.g. emacs or oxygen or ... There is something like xml-forms, too. One problem is, that we cannot redistribute the xml device definition file from atmel without their permission (Jörn asked them for a permission and they said no.) Therefore it might be a good idea, to create an own format, that can be filled from the atmel xml file (well, to 95%) with a little converter. If people here agree, that this is a good solution, I could make a suggestion for an xml format (dtd).
