For the vast majority of what will be using XML, that was the approach I was planning to take.

This is not an immediate need since I have a temporary work around for my type definition problem, but I would like a better long-term solution.My main recommendation is to build an abstract library on top of the XML, like our property manager (only perhaps simpler) -- that way, XML parsing is completely separate from program logic, and if you need to change the XML details, you can do it all in one place.
The big problem will be with the data structure definitions. I think Norman's XML-RPC link will provide a good starting point. The only problem is that I need to match a preexisting, packed, data structure (it contains 8- and 16-bit integers along with some other nasties).
My final language will be C, but using python reduces the code-link-damn cycle down to just code-damn. Well, that and it is just easier to work with.
Thanks for your help!
