hi mika

you probably don't need to change the Rule interface.
i'd prefer it if you call methods on the digester instance. (that's how 
the BeanPropertySetterRule automagically knows how to match the property 
called to the current element tag.) if the digester doesn't currently 
expose the property you're after, then it's easy to add it.

i don't think that different matching pattern rules will be a problem in 
practice provided that the self-configuring behaviour can be turned on and 
off.
