Dave,
Having looked at this, it seems pretty reasonable.
My only comment is that if it were possible to add metadata to each
generated class to describe what xml nodes it would correspond to, then it
would be feasible to provide a generic implementation of gds_build_any which
maintained an index of subclasses and their corresponding node types to
decide which to use for building the any node.
I'm willing to sketch out a generic gds_build_any, but I would probably need
some guidance on hacking generateDS.py if you would like any direct help of
that sort.
