Jason, Thanks for all your help!

If that's route you guys take in the future then the factory implementations have a home now without stepping on one another. If later on you actually want to have model deployment and authoring tools the model factorys could implement all the CRUD operations on the various model classes (value objects). Although CRUD does not matter to XML which is rewritten every time it may be valuable for models stored in databases and LDAP. In XML an update implementation for example would recreate the file whereas a database update would apply store optimization to make the operation more efficient rather than deleting and recreating the entire model ...
