> xerces currently doesn't support xpointer() scheme

Sigh.  So I wonder if, instead of supporting nested "configuration" tags we 
might instead support nested "properties" tags, that each contain a set of 
properties.  Or do you think it would be useful to have included files also 
capable of acting as top-level configuration files?
