Look at it from my perspective for a moment.

I took initiative.  I build a working system.  I provided some
documentation.  I've responded when people have asked for features like the
ability to control their own descriptors.  I've asked for feedback.  I've
quickly given commit access to anybody who even expresses the slightest
interest and has even some minimal competency.

What feedback do I get?

Imagine somebody writing a code generator, never having installed a
compiler.

Let's be clear - I am not asking anybody sully their hands by actually
running Gump, but there must have been a reason why a different DTD was
chosen than Gump's.  I made an effort to document the Gump data definitions
and there certainly is plenty of instance data to look at.  Tell me what to
change, tell me what's wrong, or simply tell me they suck.  All I ask is
that you don't continue to ignore this work.

Let me be clear: I don't give a rat's behind whether the project
definitions are processed using XSLT, DVSL, or C#.  But is it too much to
ask that somebody showing at least some token interest in converging on the
data definitions?
