Hi Raif, Cool!
* Java Bindings to XML Schemas: we already support JAXB and JiBX technologies. What would adding an extension for XMLBeans add (pros/cons)? There are many serializations technologies to consider (Castor comes to mind) so we need to be very selective in what we add to the main Restlet project. * authorization toolkit: thanks for the pointer to Tomcat Realms, I've added a comment about it in issue #505. This is definitely an area that would benefit from contributions during Restlet 1.2 development cycle! * KML/KMZ support: this might be a too application specific to fit into the main Restlet project, but you could start a dedicated open source project (for example on Google Code), that would leverage Restlet. We would be happy to point users to it and support you.
