Sounds good. But can these XML files contain all the functionality needed (or links to the files that contain the functionality needed)? What I mean is this... can the XML files contain links to the other files (like .js files)? And does that mean all functionality for things like calendar, calculator, snippets, etc... are removed from dqsdtools.dll and/or search.htm and move into .js files in the subdirectory?
Maybe I'm in over my head...
