Yes, we could do that, as long as we keep diligent about adding back in the features as we add them.
There is one thing I just remembered where we are not really compliant with the dtd. In ColdSpring, the <constructor-arg/> tag requires a "name" attribute like <property/>, unlike Spring, which optionally allows an "index" attribute for <constructor-arg/>. I'm not really sure how to handle that one... obviously we could just use "index" as the contructor-arg name, but that's confusing IMO. -Dave On 11/3/05, Peter J.
