How come > proponents of static typing provide untyped data? I fully agree with you. I think the code to generate the xml output should probably be generated from a schema and then used inside darcs. This could/should allow us and others to leverage the host languages's type checking to make sure schema usage is more or less correct. Is this something you'd be interesting in helping with? I doubt anyone would turn away patches to add a schema and an effort to make darcs enforce it. Thanks, Jason
