Paul:
WHOH there... SMF is an issue but the MVS control blocks (especially
the TSOe ones) are frozen in stone. While I would not want to talk on
IBM's behalf the proverbial hell would have to freeze over before any
TSO/e control block would/could be changed.

And if the SMF data themselves were kept in XML, obstacles to
